“Strategic Planning for Silver Airways: A SWOT Analysis and Goals & Objectives” Title: Strategic Plan for Silver Airways’ Acquisition of Seaborne Airlines “Strategic Management: Goals and Objectives for Effective Leadership” “Exploring the Business Environment: Frameworks for Evaluating, Strategizing, and Organizing”
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to introduce you to the planning process and to complete a SWOT analysis to determine a company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Using the information gathered to complete the SWOT, you will begin to build a Strategic Plan identifying and discussing the company’s goals and objectives.
Outcome Met by Completing This Assignment
Employ effective planning processes to develop strategies, goals, and objectives to enhance organizational performance and sustainability.
Instructions and Case Background
Note: Before starting work on Project I, you must carefully read the Project 1 rubric.
You are requested to complete Project 1 in the role of a recent business degree graduate, newly hired by Silver Airways. Your manager has requested your assistance in conducting a SWOT analysis and developing the goals and objectives for a strategic plan. The strategic plan is necessitated by Silver Airways’ CEO requesting an assessment of the airline’s ability to continue to grow and the subsequent steps it needs to take to make that happen.
You will use the course materials for Weeks 1 – 3 and your research findings based on Silver Airways’ links below. This information will allow you to analyze the current state of Silver Airways to determine its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
You will complete a SWOT table identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats you identified for Silver Airlines. Based on your SWOT table, you will then develop and explain your goals and their related objectives.
Your manager has informed you of the following facts: Florida-based Silver Airways recently announced its acquisition of Seaborne Airlines, headquartered in Puerto Rico. Expanding its flight routes within the Caribbean makes the company the highest-volume airline to the Bahamas and the Caribbean. In addition to its Bahamas and Caribbean flights, Silver Airways serves the southeast and a few northeast states.
Your manager has provided you with the links found below and indicated that route expansion, a new fleet of aircraft, and the acquisition of Seaborne Airlines should be considerations in your analysis. Of course, the focus of your analysis is Silver Airways and not Seaborne Airlines.
Your analysis, SWOT table, goals, and objectives must be supported by a logical and well-reasoned evaluation of the facts ascertained from the course materials and links provided.

You may do additional research related to Silver Airways to enhance your SWOT analysis, SWOT Table, and goals and objectives.
Note: Your report must be based on the results of your own research. This means that you will research and draw your own conclusions, which must be supported by your independent research and the course materials. You are precluded from using any existing SWOT analysis, SWOT Table, and goals and objectives ascertained from anyone else’s source material (e.g., internet sites, for-pay websites, existing documents, video resources, and the like). You MUST do your own analysis.

Use the checklist below to ensure your paper’s compliance with assignment instructions.
Checklist
Specific Project Requirements
Proofread your paper. Ensure your topic headings and format follow the above sequence.
Read and use the grading rubric while completing the paper to ensure all requirements are met to lead to the highest possible grade.
Third-person writing is required. Third-person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first-person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second-person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person.
Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them.
Paraphrase to show a greater understanding of the topics. Paraphrasing means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document. Put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document. Using more than four consecutive words from a source document would require direct quotation marks. Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having quotation marks.
You are expected to use the research and weekly course materials to develop the analysis and support the reasoning. There should be a robust use of the course material. The material used from a source document must be cited and referenced. A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa. Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having quotation marks.
Use in-text citations and provide a reference list that contains the reference associated with each in-text citation.
Use relevant scholarly, peer-reviewed, research-based, and trade sources found in the online library. Do not use books in completing this problem set unless they are part of the course material. Also, do not use a dictionary, Wikipedia or Investopedia, or similar sources.
Provide the page or paragraph number for in-text citation of quoted material. Since the eBook does not have page numbers, you must include the chapter title, section heading, and paragraph number.
For citations using a video, you must provide the minutes and seconds of the cited material.

“Annotated Outline for Ethical Decision Making and Leadership Aspects in [Chosen Organization]” “Exploring the Role of Technology in Modern Education”
Create a 2-5 page annotated outline that includes the sections to be analyzed, ethical decision making aspects of the topic, main points of the recommendation, and credible evidence you plan to use for supporting the analysis and recommendations.
While everyone has their own process for writing, creating an outline is often an important early step in the process in all types of writing, even for the most seasoned writers. By creating an outline, you draft a plan that organizes your thoughts, helps you see gaps in your thought process, and enables you to decide where in your paper you will address particular issues.
An annotated outline is a document that organizes the main sections to be included in your paper. The annotations are based on thinking through your approach to the paper and developing enough detail that anyone who reads the outline can follow your thought process.
The purpose of this assessment is as follows:
To build an annotated outline that shows the key sections of your analysis, the ethical considerations, and the leadership and collaboration aspects that you intend to include in your capstone project. With this outline, faculty can understand the organization and purpose of your paper; upon approval, you may move forward to writing the capstone project (Assessment 4).
To help you manage your work because you will need to start researching now (if you have not already) in order to create your annotated outline.
To demonstrate that you know how to cite in APA format by including some quotations or paraphrases from researched sources. The sources you include in the outline may or may not be used in your actual paper.
To demonstrate your ability to create a well-organized document, suitable for academic or business, that meets established criteria.
Your annotated outline must state the name of your chosen organization and must include the following items:
Identify the main sections to be developed in the paper and tie them to the project objectives.
In your key sections, you should use at least four main headings; these sections make up the body of your outline.
Each heading must have at least two sub-points to develop the detail required.
Include a description of each major point.
Identify where each supporting reference will be integrated.
Include at least one reference to support each major point of the paper.
Incorporate relevant quotes or paraphrases from a source that you might use for support, with an APA in-text citation.
Identify main points that address ethical aspects associated with your chosen business.
Ethical considerations/aspects should also be one of the headings of your outline.
Use the program outcomes to help determine the areas of ethics that you might want to cover.
Include at least one reference to elaborate on how you intend to cover ethics in your project.
Identify main points that address leadership and collaboration aspects associated with your chosen business.
Leadership and collaboration considerations/aspects should also be one of the headings of your outline.
Review the program outcomes to determine the areas of leadership and collaboration that you should consider.
Include at least one reference to elaborate on how you intend to cover leadership and collaboration in your project.
Identify main points of your recommendations. Your recommendations should also be one of the headings of your outline.
Identify credible evidence to support an analysis.
For the evidence you provide, include key points to clarify why it matters and how it will inform the analysis.
Your annotated outline should have these sections:
An executive summary.
An introduction.
The body of your outline should be comprised of at least four main headings with additional subheadings and points. (Never use the word “Body” as a heading or subheading.)
A conclusion.
References. Use APA style and formatting for all the sources you use in the annotated outline.
I included the proposal. Please base this off of the proposal I attached. -

allocate existing and new resources, both human and equipment, to provide for
the greatest efficiencies and productivity possible.
I have
prepared a list of functional area goals for each of you to accomplish. Those
goals are in the manager information packet that is available in front of you
there. Each functional area vice-president will have specific goals, which are
impacted by the goals, objectives, and activities of the other functional area
managers. You will have to work closely with each other in order to ensure
company success.
We have
employee performance problems in most of our functional areas. You will need to
evaluate the source of those problems, and develop a strategy to increase
employee responses from their current levels.
Working
with Human Resources, you will need to properly utilize your existing staff,
and hire new people to accomplish your goals.
Work
towards unlocking the potential of each employee. Be smart in whom you hire.
Think strategically, act tactically. And, despite the infusion of new capital,
we still have limited resources, use them wisely.
Four Keys
Selecting for talent.
Defining the right outcomes.
Focusing on strengths.
Finding the right fit.
As
members of the management team, you will take your functional area goals and
convert them to actionable plans in alignment with our company goals. Help them
reach those goals – because their success is our success! Now, let’s get after
it!

INT 220 Module Three Assignment Title: “Ranking International Markets for a New Product: A Consultant’s Perspective”
INT 220 Module Three Assignment Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
There are many factors that should be examined when considering a new international market. In this assignment, you will explore how a company can qualify or quantify economic factors of markets and how it can influence the process of selecting a new market for a product. As you complete this assignment, consider how the lessons learned and resources used can be applied to your course project.
Prompt
You are an international trade consultant ranking the overall quality of various international markets for a product of your choosing. Select a product you would be interested in introducing to a new market, then complete the Module Three Assignment Template (located in the Guidelines for Submission section of this document). Then rank your recommendations for a new market and justify your rankings using key economic and political data points. Examples of products include digital cameras, activity trackers, curtains, coffeemakers, and so forth.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Application of Data: Describe your initial thoughts on how insights from the required data to be collected could help to inform business decisions. For example, consider what information each data point provides, whether you think some data points should be weighted more or less heavily than others in making a business decision, what ideal data points might look like for expansion into a new market for your product, the ways that different political systems may impact a decision, and so forth.
Political and Economic Data Collection: Complete the table in the provided template by finding the appropriate information and data points for each identified category using course and external resources.
Ranking and Rationale: Rank the appropriateness of introducing your selected product into the three markets from “most appropriate” to “least appropriate” using the gathered political and economic data you collected, then provide a rationale for why you ranked the markets the way you did on the basis of the data you gathered. -
