Framework?

D) Research, Design, Distribution
🔴🔴 Answer: B) Market Analysis, Strategy Development, Implementation

environment), Strategy Development (formulating the plan), and Implementation (executing
the strategy). Segmentation is part of the STP process within strategy development, not a
framework level itself.

markets is pursuing which growth strategy?
,A) Market Penetration

markets). Diversification carries the highest risk.

Forces.
● 5. In a SWOT analysis, which of the following would be classified as an external opportunity?
A) Strong brand recognition
B) Emerging international markets
C) Skilled workforce
D) Proprietary technology
🔴🔴 Answer: B) Emerging international markets
