| Summary: | Strategic planning plays an important role in helping the organization to achieve
success. Efficiency and effectiveness of strategic planning can be improved by
using information technology that speed up the process. Although quite a number of
softwares exist in strategic planning, none of them is comprehensive enough
especially in the area of assessment in strategic planning. Assessment is an initial
part to recognize the current position of an organization and situational analysis is
used to generate conclusions. These conclusions are needed in planning the business
objectives. Therefore, this research developed a simulation model and assessment
software system that represents the actual working procedures and assessment
process of strategic planning. Two analytical methods, Strength, Weakness,
Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) Matrix and Strategic Position and Action
Evaluation (SPACE) Matrix, are used in the model and system. Both matrixes
enable users to make selection of attributes and place weight/rating based on their
organization current situations. Calculations and matching suggest the most
appropriate strategy that an organization should implement to gain success in
strategic planning. This research tests the model and system, collects the relevant data, analyze it and produce results that conclude what managers do in making
analysis and conclusions in assessment. Usability testing is carried out to test the
usability of the system from the aspect of usefulness, effectiveness, leamability and
likability. |
