External environmental assessment: information gathering; information assessment. Internal environmental assessment: physical resources and personnel competencies; value chain analysis. Islamia University Bahawalpur Chapter 9
  12. 12. External environmental assessment: Information gathering: Environmental scan is conducted to identify competitor strengths and weaknesses and to target areas for attack. Information assessment: After gathering information on the competition and the industry, MNEs then evaluate the data. Five force model is used to make an overall assessment. Islamia University Bahawalpur Chapter 9
  13. 13. Conducting an Environmental Scan Four of the most common methods for conducting an environmental scan are: Asking experts in the industry to discuss industry trends and to make projections about the future. Using historical industry trends to forecast future developments. Asking knowledgeable managers to write scenarios describing what they foresee for the industry over the next two to three years. Using computers to simulate the industry environment and to generate likely future developments. Islamia University Bahawalpur Chapter 9
  14. 14. Examining the five forces that determine industry competitiveness One of the most common approaches to make an overall evaluation is based on the five forces that determine industry competitiveness: buyers suppliers potential new entrants to the industry the availability of substitute goods and services rivalry among the competitors.

There are two specific areas the MNE will examine in this assessment: physical resources and personnel competitiveness; the way in which value chain analysis can be used to bring these resources together in the most synergistic and profitable manner.

Primary activities: inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, marketing & sales and service. Support activities: firm infrastructure, HRM, technology management and procurement.
