The organization selected for the assignment of preparing a strategic plan to grow the company over a year period is: The “Veteran Beer Company,” Founded in 2012. I was introduced to this company by one of my former subordinate soldiers who serve with me during Operation Iraqi Freedom. This soldier left the service about the same time that I retired and he went to work for the Veteran Beer Company while he was attending college in Illinois. He started promoting their beer on Face Book and that is how I found out about the Veteran Beer Company. The Veteran Beer Company’s website states that the company “is dedicated to providing lives of quality for military Veterans through the creation of meaningful post-service careers.” The company produces, sells, and delivers craft beers of superior quality, striving to employ Veterans in every role within the organization. Whenever possible, we use Veteran-owned small businesses in our supply chain and insist that the entire supply chain have a Veteran-first hiring policy. Our employees—all Veterans of the US military–adhere to the highest principles of military service, conducting business with integrity, courage, and loyalty. Importantly, 10% percent of everything we make goes to charities that support Veterans causes; the other 90% goes to employ Veterans (Veteran Beer Company, 2016). The company is small but they plan to employ up to 3500 veterans within five years. Their beer is currently produced in Minnesota and is
Strategic planning is a critical element of an organization’s annual business plan. A strategic plan consists of a number of components. In addition to analyzing a company’s strengths and weaknesses, a strategic plan also includes implementation and control techniques.

Organizations must develop and execute strategic plans to ensure future company growth and success. Assessing the internal and external aspects affecting a business is a key part of the strategic planning process, as it provides a vector for organizations to maintain a competitive advantage within a marketplace that is continuously evolving. Using quantitative data is considered a best practice to begin an assessment by reviewing recent financial performance and objectively determining the company’s current financial condition (Abraham, 2012). Subsequently, innovative organizations like Tesla Motors must apply methodologies to intimately measure subjective aspects such as a company’s competitive strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and potential threats. A SWOT analysis is the operational method used to analyze these aspects (Abraham, 2012). The purpose of the following project is to apply core competencies of the strategic planning curriculum to inspire a culture of strategic innovation within organizational leaders of tomorrow. First, we will take an assessment of Tesla Motors history, the company’s current products, and major competitors affecting the innovative company’s business plan. Then, we can examine the current market situation to determine any potential barriers to organizational success, before applying the principles of a SWOT analysis to determine Tesla’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that may affect the future of the organization.

Dissimilar sources plan altered steps involved in the planning process, but in this case I will discuss on seven steps that are involved in the entire process. The first step is goal setting. This basically involves coming up with the main objectives and goals that the company wishes to establish within a particular period of time. It is a very important section because the company will operate with a view of the goal in mind, if it is not clearly established, and then the business could lose direction along the way. After goal setting, we have development of the planning premises, where the plans are prepared and any underlying conditions defined. This is where there is an assessment of the environment and any constraints or

Corporate America has changed drastically in the last 50 years. So long are the days of Mad Men, where female secretaries wait on their male counterparts hand and foot. Management does not serve the way it used to in the 1950’s. It is nearly impossible to get everyone physically into a room for a meeting when people can easily join in on the conversation from the comfort of their own home. No longer do colleagues meet at the water cooler or leave the office behind for happy hour. Computer-mediated communication systems, or internet-based technologies like Skype and Google Chats, have been the forefront of the transition into telecommunicating and virtual team building. The use of these technologies increase the range, capacity, and speed of managerial communications, as well as make the job plain and easy for teams to collaborate (Warkentin 976). Management must use new strategies to supervise and support their employees in the new digital age. Strategic planning and proper management techniques are the only way that remotely located employees can properly contribute to team building the same way as they would if they showed up to the same office building each day. Telecommunicating to work is the latest trend in corporate America. In this century, it is more common for a manager to oversee a virtual workplace, rather than walk from desk to desk, monitoring what each employee is currently working on. Technology has made this possible, but raises some concerns.
The strategic management process is sometimes improperly perceived as a unidirectional flow of objectives, strategies and decision parameters from management to the employees. In fact, the process should be highly interactive since it is designed to stimulate input from creative, skilled and knowledgeable people working at every level of the business.
Strategic management to my understanding simply means how any organization manages its resources in order to accomplish its goal and objectives. It engages the setting up of objectives, analyzing the competitive environment and evaluating strategies and making in no doubt it all revolve out transversely in the organization.

Once goals are defined, we both need to understand each other expectation very well. I will also ask about the expected salary and facilities.
