Strategic Management: Analyzing Company Evolution, Mission, and Vision StatementsDiscussion 1, Week 1Provide an example of an industry or company that has changed its strategy over time asenvironmental factors such as technology,competition, and consumer preferences havechanged.With the every rising prices of gas the automotive industry has changed dramatically since2002.To give an example is the phase out process of the Hummer brand.Since gas prices andhave soared less people are buying large SUV’s and this was the downfall of the Hummer.Hummer’s are not designed to be environmental friendly with their large consumption of fueland higher emissions. Today government offers great tax incentives to eco friendly cars that gethigh gas mileage or even electric and because technology has not advanced to keep up with thedemand for these cars the government has stepped in to offerincentives to keep the price wherethe average American can still afford them.As our text states that a company’s strategy is not a onetime event, but one that is always awork in progress (Gamble, 2011). The car industry is a prime example how environment,technology, competition or consumer preferences can change the way they operate.Gamble, E., Thompson, A., (2011).Essentials of Strategic Management,New York, NY:McGraw-Hill/Irwin.Discussion 2, Week 1Share the vision and mission statement of your firm (or one with which you are familiar).47thCST Mission StatementThe CST organization is designed to augment local and regional terrorism response capabilitiesin events known or suspected to involve Weapons of Mass Destruction.
