MGT 660 Topic 5 CLC Space Matrix Grand Matrix New

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

Throughout this course, you will work in a CLC group on a strategic case analysis project. This project consists of different parts you will complete each week that build on each other.

Go to the Strategy Club website and review the Sample Strategic Plan for Colgate-Palmolive (2019) under the student resources section. This sample strategic plan is an example of what your completed strategic case analysis should look like at the end of the course.

NOTE: Be sure that the Matrices are completed by the 5th day of the topic, so that you have time to complete your individual analysis of the Matrices.

Complete the following three parts with your CLC group:

Part I – SPACE Matrix
