    The monitoring, evaluating, and disseminating of information from the external and internal environments is known as environmental scanning. This information goes to key people within the corporation to identify strategic factors and help determine the future of the corporation (Wheelen & Hunger). SWOT analysis is the simplest way to conduct environmental scanning. The acronym SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. These factors are important because before an organization can begin strategy formulation, it must scan the internal environment for strengths and weaknesses and their external environment to identify possible opportunities and threats (Wheelen & Hunger). In this paper I will describe the internal and external environments of Apple and Best Buy using an environmental scan. I will also determine what their competitive advantages and strategies are.…

    Disparities in Health Care

    Thanks to medical advances and advanced preventative care, Americans are living longer and healthier than ever. However, these benefits don 't seem to apply to everyone equally because a great disparity exists. Not a disparity based on access or clinical needs, preferences, or appropriateness of intervention, but a racial and ethnic disparity that divides on socioeconomic lines. When all medical care being accessed and administered is considered equal, the poor and racial minorities suffer the most with inadequate insurance coverage, higher incidences of illness, and culturally shaped attitudes that impact and lessen their quality of life.…

    SWOT analysis is a structured and planned method that is used to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of any business or venture. This analysis can be carried out not just by any business – it can also be carried out by any industry, product, place, or person. The tool collects the information from an environmental analysis and divides it into two categories – 1) internal, comprising of strengths and weaknesses, and 2) external, comprising of opportunities and threats. Once, these factors are analysed, SWOT analysis determines what are the factors and components that are necessary for the fulfilment of the objectives, and the obstacles that have to be overcome, neutralized, or minimized. While strengths and weaknesses are internal factors, opportunities and threats are usually external factors.…
