Now that you completed all the individual components of the Strategic Plan, conclude this project by synthesizing all the individual components into a strategic plan that could be presented to leaders of the organization.

The final draft of your plan must include:

• The Internal Analysis
• The External Analysis
• Strategy Analysis and Choice
• Strategy Implementation
• Evaluation and Control
• 1-2 page, executive summary highlighting the key points of the plan.

The plan should be clear, comprehensive, and forward-looking. This is not merely a research project. Your plan should focus on specific strategic decisions (i.e., problems or opportunities) facing the company and conclude with a set of strategic recommendations.

Your final paper requires proper in-text citations and a references page. Proper APA formatting should be utilized throughout your paper.
