description of the current state of the marketplace.

as well as opportunities and threats you face.
•Your Market Situation section should be based on facts – not speculation,
guesses or hunches – gathered from research. To get these facts, make a
list of customer contacts and key employees to talk to, and pick their
brains. Also, gather any pertinent research about your industry from your
trade associations and local educational institutions.

intangible, and are within the control of the organization.

the desired goal.

market trends, suppliers, partners, customers, competitors,
new technology and economic environment.
Opportunities present themselves as attractive factors that
can propel or positively influence the organization in some
way.
