As members of the senior management team of Able Corporation, your group has been asked to prepare a presentation for the Strategic Officers Steering Committee (SOS-C) of Walden International, the parent company of Able Corporation. The purpose of this presentation is to obtain permission from them to go forward with the next step (developing a full blown business plan) for Able's strategic initiative to break into the global marketplace.
Your group's presentation should discuss (at a minimum):
*An external analysis (opportunities and threats) of the environment that Able is proposing to enter
*A preliminary outline of the business plan to be developed for Able's strategic initiative
*A rudimentary mission statement
*Key operating principles
*A preliminary market analysis
*The one-year, five-year, and ten-year strategic objectives of the strategic initiatives
*Any additional material that your group considers necessary to support the case for going forward with Able's global strategic initiative.
