You see that there are four input categories:
Environment (factors external to the organization)
Resources (factors internal to the organization)
Organizational history (Persistent Traditiona)
Strategy (goals, objectives and strategic initiatives)
The Key Factors in the first three input categories should support and integrate with the Strategy Input factor.
REQUIRED READING: The article by Nadler and Tushman will tell you how to go about completing an analysis of Key Inputs. Make an argument for a Claim about the specific situation in the Case assignment. Stephen Toulmin has developed an Argument Methodology that is very useful in Making a Case.

(Choose the level at which the Strategy is supported by the other factors.)

1) Identify and discuss the Key Input factors from each of the four input categories (at least two each).
2) Explain why these are critical (consider the strategy and how important each one is in providing support)
3) Make the case as to whether the Key Input factors in the first three categories support the Strategy (classify the strategy according to Porter's three generic competitive strategies).
