[FW-ENG-03] Corporate Strategy
(Kröll, M. )
The initial question for the third learning sprint of the start-up workshop is as follows: What strategy and vision do you use to lead your company to success (see figure 1)?
After you have analysed both the corporate environment (focus on external environment) and identified your resources and their properties (as an in-house approach) in the previous learning sprint, it will now be a matter of putting your idea to the test by doing a SWOT analysis perform (Fig. 2). In this you will deal with the strengths and weaknesses as well as the opportunities and risks of your business idea.
