Required Elements for Part One:

• Using the facts that have been provided and research on the toy industry create the SWOT analysis for Keith.

• provide a detailed explanation as to what considerations led to the determination that certain facts should be classified as "strengths" while others were classified as "weaknesses."

• Lastly, select the best long term planning decision for Keith's approval. In this report, explain the analysis and factors used in evaluating the vision, mission, long-term goals and SWOT analysis of the company that led to the conclusions that formed the basis of the decision that Keith would recommend to the Long-term Planning Committee.

Required Elements for Part Two:

• From the list provided, generate three lists. The first list should be a selection of "appropriate" short-term goals. The second list should be a selection of "appropriate" objectives. The third list should be those other goals and objectives that have been abandoned.
