I would determine if a strategy has created value and sustained competitive advantage for Kudler Fine Foods by first conducting a pre and post environmental scan. I would conduct an internal environmental scan and an external environmental scan. In order to effectively conduct an internal environmental scan, I would conduct a SWOT analysis in order to identify Kudler’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. When examining the strengths, I would pay particular attention to Kudler’s product mix and see if they have established a solid reputation. When examining the weaknesses, I would look at the company’s market presence and overall resources. When looking at the opportunities, I would see if the company’s quality has improved and if further opportunities exist and have been capitalized on. As far as threats are concerned, I would see how the preferences of the company’s consumers are as big as a factor as they once were and what the company has done to address them. As far as an external environmental scan is concerned, I would focus on the company’s competitive situation. The industry in which Kudler is in is highly competitive due to the fact that there are many stores that cater to the same market. I would evaluate if the company is better equipped to face its competition in an attempt to sustain its future growth and profitability.
