Corporate (Group) What-If Analysis
TACTICAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
The purpose of this section is to discuss important tactical decisions
that most corporations face at some time.
The major tactical plans listed below should, like all other corporate
plans, be considered within the context of the corporate strategy. They include:
- Acquiring or merging with another company;
- Joint venturing, which refers to pooling resources with another
company;
- Outsourcing, which refers to purchasing a product or service previously
produced internally;
- Selling one or more corporate businesses.
WHAT-IF ANALYSIS
The purpose of this section is to provide an open ended opportunity to ask
"what-if" questions regarding any aspect of the company, the corporate
strategy, or the corporate environment.
The what-if analysis should include discussions regarding potential internal
and external events.
What-if analysis is a simple way to deal with uncertainty. Anyone reviewing
the corporate plan should be free to add to the list of what-if questions.
What-if analysis greatly improves the company's ability to respond quickly and
effectively to a wide variety of potential events. What-if analysis is also
useful for analyzing first-strike moves as well.
