Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word strategic objectives summary. Include your balanced scorecard and its impact on all stakeholders, and the communication plan.

Develop the strategic objectives for your new division of the existing business in a balanced scorecard format in the context of key trends, assumptions, and risks. The strategic objectives are measures of attaining your vision and mission. As you develop them, consider the vision, mission, and values for your business and the outcomes of your SWOT analysis and supply chain analysis.
Consider the following four quadrants of the balanced scorecard when developing your strategic objectives:
Shareholder Value or Financial Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
Market share
Revenues and costs
Profitability
Competitive position
Customer Value Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
Customer retention or turnover
Customer satisfaction
Customer value
Process or Internal Operations Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
Measure of process performance
Productivity or productivity improvement
Operations metrics
Impact of change on the organization
Learning and Growth (Employee) Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
Employee satisfaction
Employee turnover or retention
Level of organizational capability
Nature of organizational culture or climate
Technological innovation
Evaluate potential alternatives to the issues and/or opportunities identified in the SWOT Analysis paper and table you completed in Week 3.
Create at least three strategic objectives for each of the four balanced scorecard areas. Base your solutions on a ranking of alternative solutions that includes the following:
Identify potential risks and mitigation plans
Analyze a stakeholder and include mitigation and contingency strategies.
Incorporate ethical implications
Develop a metric and target for each strategic objective using a balanced scorecard format.
Example: a strategic objective in the shareholder or financial perspective is to increase market share. A metric to actually measure this strategic objective of market share increase is, "The percentage of increase in market share." The target is the specific number to be achieved in a particular time period. The target for the metric of "Increase market share" could be
"Increase market share by 2% for each of the next 3 years" of an increase of 2% per year for 3 years.)
