About strategic analysis notes
GoConqr OriginalUsing Strategic Analysis notes
Start with Strategic Analysis for an introduction to strategic decisions and the direction of an organisation. Its overview provides a starting point before you move on to notes that focus on particular approaches.
The environment introduces the PESTEL model, while SWOT Analysis lists strengths alongside other factors. A separate note looks at industry analysis and Porter’s Five Forces. For a company example, McDonald's Porter Five Forces considers competition in the fast-food industry.
Move between formats
As you read, make a short summary of each approach and the factors it considers. Compare the industry analysis note with the company example to see how a model can be applied. Return to the notes when you need more detail.
If you want to see ideas as connections rather than prose, switch to a mind map on the unit page. For recall practice, use a flashcard deck or quiz there instead. Pick a note and use it as your starting point.

What topics do the notes cover?
The notes include strategic decisions, the PESTEL model, SWOT, external and industry analysis, and Porter’s Five Forces. There is also a note on the value chain and a company example using the Five Forces. University students and teachers can choose a topic to suit their study or teaching.
