n the article “Managing Strategy in Turbulent Times”, Perrott says, “Over time, a business needs to manage a balance between conditions of the environment, its strategy to develop opportunities and threats and its capability to implement such strategies.” A consumer products company wants to use Perrott’s framework to analyze possible strategic gaps and capability gaps as it seeks to bring a new line of environmentally friendly cleaning products to market. In a minimum of 300 words, discuss at least three external environmental factors the company must analyze to ensure that strategies will lead to success for this new venture. Why are these factors important in this situation? Describe at least three internal capabilities that the company must develop as it seeks to come to market with these new consumer products. Guided Response: Review the discussion board posts of your classmates. Note their descriptions of the external and internal factors. Respond to at least two of your classmates. Comment on the differences you discover between your lists and those of your classmates. How did the differences expand your knowledge of external and internal factors in strategy management?
A portfolio manager is trying to balance investments between bonds, stocks and cash. The return on stocks is 12 percent, 9 percent on bonds, and 3 percent on cash. The total portfolio is $1 billion, and he or she must keep 10 percent in cash in accordance with company policy. The fund's prospectus promises that stocks cannot exceed 75 percent of the portfolio, and the ratio of stocks to bonds must equal two. Formulate this investment decision as a linear programming problem, defining fully your decision variables and then giving the objective function and constraints. Solve the problem and show the optimal solution.
