We have been provided with the information that
financial strength, =FS = +2 (near to worst)
environmental strategy= ES = -6 (Worst)
,competitive advantage =CA = -2 (Average ,near to good)
and industry strength= IS = +4 (Average Good)
The SPACE matrix is a management tool used to analyze a company. It is used to determine what type of a strategy a company should undertake.
The SPACE Matrix analysis functions upon two internal and two external strategic dimensions in order to determine the organization’s strategic posture in the industry. The SPACE matrix is based on four areas of analysis.
Internal strategic dimensions:
Financial strength (FS)
Competitive advantage (CA)
External strategic dimensions:
Environmental stability (ES)
Industry strength (IS)
By definition, the CA and IS values in the SPACE matrix are plotted on the X axis.
– CA values can range from -1 to -6.
– IS values can take +1 to +6.
– The FS and ES dimensions of the model are plotted on the Y axis.
– ES values can be between -1 and -6.
– FS values range from +1 to +6.
