Develop an EFE Matrix for Your University

Purpose

Most colleges and universities do strategic planning. Institutions are consciously and systematically

identifying and evaluating external opportunities and threats facing higher education in your state, the

nation, and the world.

Instructions

Step 1 Join with two other individuals in class and jointly prepare an EFE Matrix for your institution.

Step 2 Go to the board and record your total weighted score in a column that includes the scores of all

three-person teams participating. Put your initials after your score to identify it as your team’s score.

Step 3 Which team viewed your college’s strategies most positively? Which team viewed your college’s

strategies most negatively? Discuss the nature of the differences.

Answer 1

Answer:

Team B viewed the college strategies most positively.

Team C viewed the college strategies most negatively.

Team B has viewed the various opportunities in a positive manner and has allocated the higher rating and weight to each of the opportunity. Thus their total weighted score has come out to be higher for the college strategies.

Team C has viewed the college strategies in the most negative manner and thus allocated higher ratings to the threats. Thus their total weighted score has come out to be higher against the college strategies.
