Required Elements for Part One:

• Using the facts that have been provided and research on the toy industry create the SWOT analysis for Keith.

• provide a detailed explanation as to what considerations led to the determination that certain facts should be classified as "strengths" while others were classified as "weaknesses." In other words, it's not enough to simply list various strengths and weakness, but instead explain "why" these facts were included in the analysis.

• Lastly, select the best long term planning decision for Keith's approval. In this report, explain the analysis and factors used in evaluating the vision, mission, long-term goals and SWOT analysis of the company that led to the conclusions that formed the basis of the decision that Keith would recommend to the Long-term Planning Committee.

Required Elements for Part Two:

• From the list provided, generate three lists. The first list should be a selection of "appropriate" short-term goals. The second list should be a selection of "appropriate" objectives. The third list should be those other goals and objectives that have been abandoned.

• Demonstrate the difference between "goals" and "objectives".

• Clearly explain their reasoning for the selection (of certain goals and objectives) and the abandonment of others. This analysis will be very helpful to Keith Wisternick and the Board of Directors of Galaxy Toys, Inc.
