IntroductionSuccess in strategic planning requires an understanding of the organization, the environment in which it operates, its resources, competitors, vision and mission, and its capabilities on a day-to-day basis. How does one gain this understanding? Strategic thinkers evaluate changing environments, analyze data, questions expectations, and develop new ideas (Ginter, Duncan, & Swayne, 2013). Understanding and analyzing the situation requires analyzing the environments in which the organization exists and developing or refining the organization's strategy (Ginter, Duncan, & Swayne, 2013). Various techniques and analyzes are conducted to identify these important considerations.Engaging in the strategic planning process requires leaders to be aware of their organization's internal operations as well as the external environment in which it operates. Various tools exist to aid organizations in the strategic planning process. The strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis is a common tool utilized to conduct an environmental analysis. An additional tool is Porter's five forces model. This framework is utilized to examine the competition the organization faces in the environment in which they operate (Healey & Marchese, 2012). Other tools include mind maps and balanced scorecards. Data obtained via these analyzes and examinations will guide the organization in determining what it wants to do and what it is capable of doing (White, 2012).ReferencesGinter, P. M., Duncan, W.

Be sure you have completed this activity before completing this assessment.You may also find it useful to research on strategic planning, Porter's five forces model, environmental scanning, and strategic frameworks beyond the resources provided.InstructionsIn addition to the scenario presented in the Vila Health: Strategic Analysis and Operational, incorporate the following change in the organization's environment when creating your analysis for this assessment:A new for-profit 50-bed acute care hospital is slated to open in the next eight months, offering a full complement of services.The goal of this assessment is to create a succinct and thorough analysis of the internal and external environment for St. Antony Medical Center. This report should help stakeholders understand the importance of understanding the environment in which the organization operates. Additionally, it should clearly lay out an analysis of the internal and external environments and apply one or more strategic frameworks to analyze the environment and raise operational considerations.This assessment has two distinct parts:Part 1: Understanding the EnvironmentPart 2: Organizational AnalysisWhen completing your assessment, read the instructions carefully to make sure you are addressing all the scoring guide criteria.Part 1: Understanding the EnvironmentFor this part of your assessment, the focus should be on providing a brief analysis of the ways in which competition within the health care industry effects and should be incorporated into strategic planning. As part of your analysis you should consider the types of evidence and analysis that would be compelling to the stakeholders at St. Anthony Medical Center to ensure that they are onboard and understand the importance at considering the competition in the environment when undertaking strategic planning. This relates to both internal and external factors.As you create this part of your assessment, it may be helpful to think about these areas and aspects of an organization that compete for time, attention, and resources:External competition.Staffing.Stakeholders.Organizational Capacity.Part 2: Organizational AnalysisFor the second part of your assessment, you will present an environmental analysis for the organization. Additionally, you will discuss one or more strategic frameworks (for example, a SWOT analysis) and apply it to the scenario presented in the media simulation. Finally, you will create a compelling argument as to the need for utilizing a strategic framework and the potential implications for the organization's future if nothing is employed.It may be useful to apply Porter’s Five Forces of Competitive Position Analysis when conducting and communicating your analysis.Additional RequirementsStructure: Include a title page, table of contents, and reference page.Length: 5–7 pages.References: Cite at least three current scholarly or professional resources.Format: Use APA style for references and citations.You may wish to refer to the following APA resources to help with your structure, formatting, and style:APA Style and Format.APA Style Paper Template [DOCX].APA Style Paper Tutorial [DOCX].Font: Times New Roman font, 12 point, double-spaced.SCORING GUIDEUse the scoring guide to understand how your assessment will be evaluated.VIEW SCORING GUIDECRITERIANON-PERFORMANCEBASICPROFICIENTDISTINGUISHEDAnalyze the impact and importance of understanding competition within the health industry as it applies to strategic planning.Does not explain the impact and importance of understanding competition within the health industry as it applies to strategic planning.Explains the impact and importance of understanding competition within the health industry as it applies to strategic planning.Analyzes the impact and importance of understanding competition within the health industry as it applies to strategic planning.Elaborates on the impact and importance of understanding competition within the health industry as it applies to strategic planning providing alternatives for competition.Examine strategic frameworks of health care organizations.Does not identify strategic frameworks of health care organizations.Identifies strategic frameworks of health care organizations.Examines strategic frameworks of health care organizations.Examines strategic frameworks of health care organizations considering possible pros and cons of each framework.Analyze the internal, general, and external environment within which an organization operates.Does not define the internal, general, and external environment within which an organization operates.Defines the internal, general, and external environment within which an organization operates.Analyzes the internal, general, and external environment within which an organization operates.Specifies the internal, general, and external environment within which an organization operates, providing examples of each environment.Discuss implications for the organization’s future if strategic frameworks are not utilized.Does not describe implications for the organization’s future if strategic frameworks are not utilized.Describes implications for the organization’s future if strategic frameworks are not utilized.Discusses implications for the organization’s future if strategic frameworks are not utilized.Categorizes implications for the organization’s future if strategic frameworks are not utilized.Demonstrate effective communication through writing and proper use of APA style.Does not demonstrate effective communication through writing and proper use of APA style.Demonstrates communication through writing and use of APA style with few errors.Demonstrates effective communication through writing and proper use of APA style.Demonstrates effective communication through writing and proper use of APA style with no significant errors, and supports analysis.Communicate in a professional and effective manner by writing content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.Does not communicate in a professional and effective manner by writing content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.Communication is not consistently professional, clear, and logical, or errors in the use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling, or the writing distract from the message.Communicates in a professional and effective manner by writing content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.Communication is professional, effective, and insightful; content is clear, logical, and persuasive; grammar, punctuation, and spelling are without errors.
