You will perform an environmental scan for your target company.

Choose an organization according to the following:

• Current employer
• Most recent or former employer
• Place of business that you have patronized or have been familiar with over a long period of time.

• Avoid choosing an organization that is so large that historical data would be difficult to apply. Firms in the Russell 2000^®index may fit well, whereas firms in the Dow 30 Industrial index probably do not.

• The organization can be a start-up that you or a significant other may create in the future. For a start-up, focus on an entrepreneurial idea that is of substantive interest, so this project leaves you with a product you may leverage in the future. NOTE; TO DO THIS OPTION, YOU NEED MY APPROVAL BY FRIDAY OF WEEK 2……NO EXCEPTIONS !!
