The sales force usually provides the small amount of environmental information. Such simplistic operational planning only pretends to be strategic management, yet it is quite time consuming. Nor- mal company activities are often suspended for weeks while managers try to cram ideas into the proposed budget. The time horizon is usually one year. Phase 2—Forecast-based planning: As annual budgets become less useful at stimulating long- term planning, managers attempt to propose five-year plans. At this point they consider projects that may take more than one year. In addition to internal information, managers gather any available environmental data—usually on an ad hoc basis—and extrapolate current trends five years into the future.

... MGT/498 – Strategic Management Strategic Management Process The strategic management process is a philosophical approach to business that consists of four basic elements: environmental scanning, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation and control (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010). This paper examines these elements, why this process is important, and discusses the strategic management process of Microsoft Corporation. Environmental Scanning Environmental scanning involves an in-depth analysis of the factors that can affect the goals of the company (Clayton, 2013). This information is disseminated to the key people within the company and is often conducted through SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis. The strengths and weaknesses form the internal environment of the company and look closely at the company’s structure, resources, and culture; whereas, the opportunities and threats are the variables that comprise the external environment (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010). Strategy Formulation Once the opportunities and threats have been analyzed, long-term plans for their effective management are formulated. It is within this step that the company’s mission is clearly set to achieve the desired objectives (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010). During this stage, any issues are prioritized prior to the development of the strategy, and contingency plans created. Economic environments are continually changing; therefore, these alternative...

...Strengths: (i) The main strength for GFA Limited is that all its directors are proficient in the exploitation field. Among, they have two famous mining tycoons: Luca Pacioli FAICD being the chair and John Mellis, the CPA and company secretary. (ii) They also have the skilled geologist, Simone Stevin and Mamadou Soumaré who is the director. Furthermore, the second strength is that GFA is affluent, having approximately $ 4m (AUD) in bank. Therefore, they can invest a lot in equipment and technology improving the company further. Weaknesses: (i) The weaknesses present are that the early amateur explorers are left without guidance. They would not know where and how to start their work and thus we can analyse that no actual work has started on prospects. GFA has slow decision making process. (ii) The other weakness is to finance the director with maximum usage of $ 4m (AUD). This may lead to inaccurate accounts and budgets being prepared. Finally incorrect decisions can be taken which can be fatal for the company.

This location can be explored for gold and other metals since there is a lack of uranium in the Kintyre area of West Australia. Moreover, these regions still have their originality- not being scrutinised by modern methods yet. Threats: In the 1950s, French explorers investigated this area lastly.
