1. Take a look at your group's company and discuss its strategic plan. Does its plan trace from its vision to its mission, then its objectives, and lastly to its strategy? When looking into Stanley, I couldn’t exactly find the mission of the company spelled out. I did find some information about what the company stands for and I see that as its mission statement. The Stanley website states that the company is built on invention, innovation and inspiration with a timeless spirit that complements your wild imagination (About Stanley, 2024) . The creator of Stanley, William Stanley Jr. had a goal to help create a more sustainable and less disposable life which I believe can be seen as the companies vision and values. Objectives are when an organization sets performance targets which are specific results that the company wants to achieve (Thompson, Peteraf, Gamble, & Strickland III, 2018) . Stanley has put a lot of focus into the Quencher cups, better known as the Stanley Tumblers. These cups have taken off and have taken the top product spot as of 2020 (Vega & Shamo, 2023) . The company started to shift its focus, objectives and strategy when Terence Reilly joined the company in 2020. Terence took charge of seeing what was working and not. He decided that the Quencher H2.0 had potential to reach a new customer base (Shamo & Vega, 2023) . This brought Stanley to the huge success it is today with the popular and viral cup. 2. As a second subject, discuss what factors your company must access within its industry and competitive environment. In Stanleys 2023 Impact Report, the report addressed Stanleys supply chain and the new initiatives that have been put in place to set them apart from rival companies. In that section, Stanley speaks on the new co-founded Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) which has been created to increase efforts to decarbonize manufacturing, which is a first of its kind in the industry (Stanley Impact Report, 2023) . This is a new program that is setting the company apart from its competition. Stanley has risen above many of the companies’ competitors over the past four years with the Quencher series of cups. Stanley has done multiple limited releases of colors of cups though Target and Starbucks to create a sort of supply and demand scenario. Making the cup hard to get which keeps re-stocks of the cups flying off the shelves. References About Stanley . (2024, March 19).
