The Environmental factors are quite complex and it may be difficult for strategy
managers to classify them into neat categories to interpret them as opportunities
and threats. A matrix of comparison is drawn where one item or factor is
compared with other items after which the scores arrived at are added and
ranked for each factor and total weight age score calculated for prioritizing each
of the factors.
This is achieved by brainstorming. And finally the strategy manger uses his
judgment to place various environmental issues in clear perspective to create the
environmental threat and opportunity profile.
ETOP Preparation:
The preparation of ETOP involves dividing the environment into different
sectors and then analyzing the impact of each sector on the organization. A
comprehensive ETOP requires subdividing each environmental sector into sub
factors and then the impact of each sub factor and the organization is described
in the form of a statement.
