• How has the role of the board changed in recent years? • What changes would you like to see in the role of the board? • To what extent do you prepare for the board meeting? • To what extent are you involved in <strong>strategic</strong> <strong>management</strong> of the firm? Assurance of Learning Exercise 6I Locating Companies in a Grand Strategy Matrix CHAPTER 6 • STRATEGY ANALYSIS AND CHOICE 209 Purpose The Grand Strategy Matrix is a popular tool for formulating alternative strategies. All organizations can be positioned in one of the Grand Strategy Matrix’s four strategy quadrants. The divisions of a firm likewise could be positioned. The Grand Strategy Matrix is based on two evaluative dimensions: competitive position and market growth. Appropriate strategies for an organization to consider are listed in sequential order of attractiveness in each quadrant of the matrix. This exercise gives you experience using a Grand Strategy Matrix. Instructions Using the year-end 2008 financial information provided, prepare a Grand Strategy Matrix on a separate sheet of paper. Write the respective company names in the appropriate quadrant of the matrix. Based on this analysis, what strategies are recommended for each company?
