  4. Grand Strategy Matrix Quadrant I • Excellent strategic position • Concentration on current markets and products • Take risks aggressively when necessary

  5. Grand Strategy Matrix Quadrant II • Evaluate present approach seriously • How to change to improve competitiveness • Rapid market growth requires intensive strategy

  6. Grand Strategy Matrix Quadrant III • Compete in slow-growth industries • Weak competitive position • Drastic changes quickly • Cost and asset reduction indicated (retrenchment)

  7. Grand Strategy Matrix Quadrant IV • Strong competitive position • Slow-growth industry • Diversification indicated to more promising growth areas

  8. Formulation Framework Stage 3: The Decision Stage Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM)

  9. QSPM Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix • Only technique designed to determine the relative attractiveness of feasible alternative actions

  10. QSPM Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix • Tool for objective evaluation of alternative strategies • Based on identified external and internal crucial success factors • Requires good intuitive judgment

  11. QSPM Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix • List the firm’s key external opportunities & threats; list the firm’s key internal strengths and weaknesses • Assign weights to each external and internal critical success factor

  12. QSPM Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix • Examine the Stage 2 (matching) matrices and identify alternative strategies that the organization should consider implementing • Determine the Attractiveness Scores (AS)

  13. QSPM Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix • Compute the total Attractiveness Scores • Compute the Sum Total Attractiveness Score

  14. Key External Factors Economy Political/Legal/Governmental Social/Cultural/Demographic/Environmental Technological Competitive Weight Strategy 1 Strategy 2 Strategy 3 Key Internal Factors Management Marketing Finance/Accounting Production/Operations Research and Development Computer Information Systems Strategic Alternatives QSPM

  15. QSPM Limitations: • Requires intuitive judgments and educated assumptions • Only as good as the prerequisite inputs

  16. QSPM Positives: • Sets of strategies examined simultaneously or sequentially • Requires the integration of pertinent external and internal factors in the decision-making process
