Definition of
Strategic
Analysis and
Intuitive
Thinking
Strategic Analysis
 is a process of examining
and identifying a
problem/threats using
rational thinking,
conceptualizing with
systematic and step-by-
step process.
 Use to analyze an
organization to formulate a
strategic planning in
achieving goal/aims.
Strategic-analytical
Is a process of conducting
research to identify
problems in the
environment to formulate
a strategy for creating
solutions.

Thinking involves time,

uses abstract and criteria,
brain-centered to see the
big picture of the
environment to formulate
strategy in achieving goal.
Key Components of Strategic Analysis

There are lot of factors to be a strategic

thinker. Strategic thinking understands and
examines to see the big picture of an
organization or a community.
The following are the
key components of
strategic analysis:

1.Tool analysis
 Uses to help in the
formulation of strategy.
The common tool
analyses use is the
SWOT analysis and the
PEST analysis
2. Rational
 being logical in examining a
situation.
3. Systematic
 there is a step-by-step process
in identifying problems.
4. Goals
 talks about the purpose of the
organization
5. Strategic Planning
 clarifies the ways in which our
daily work will help move the
goals forward.
Intuitive thinking

 is a “quick and ready

insight” (Webster’s New
Collegiate Dictionary)
 a kind of thinking that
examines and
understands a certain
problem without using
logical reasoning or
rational thinking.
 It referred to as your
gut feeling, your
instinct, senses and
years of experiences
that can help to create
solutions in a certain
problem in an
organization or in the
community.
The following are great quotes from great personalities
(Timeforchange.org):
1.Albert Einstein- “There is no logical way to the
discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way
of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order
lying behind the appearance.”
2. Alexis Carrel- “All great men are gifted with intuition.
They know without reasoning or analysis what they need
to know.”
3.Lao Tzu- “The power of intuitive understanding will
protect you from harm until the end of your days
Key Components of Intuitive Thinking
Intuitive thinking helps you understand reality because of its
components.

1. Lack of Rationalization- creates solutions without logical

reasoning
2. Non-sequential- there is no step-by-step process in planning
3. Insights-uses to understand a person, thing or a situation with
the help of
senses
4. Gut feel-a quick reaction without logical rationale.
5. Experiences-can help to understand the situation because
trained experiences
Applying
Strategic
Analysis
Strategy is important in solving problem.
Being strategic means you are logical.
Applying strategic analysis will help a
community or an organization. It takes time to
create solution because of there are steps and
processes to be followed.

One of the component of strategic analyses is

the use of tool analysis or the different methods
to identify and address the threats and
problems.
Types Of Strategic Analysis

There is no standard strategic analysis “format”;

rather, there are a number of methodologies
available to help guide you through the process
of collecting and analyzing relevant data for
strategy planning. Two of the most commonly
used methods are SWOT and PESTLE.
a. SWOT analysis
(which stands for strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats) helps organizations
identify where they’re doing well and where they
can improve, both from an internal and external
perspective.

Strengths and weaknesses are considered

internal factors, and opportunities and threats
are considered external factors.
It is a tool analysis used to know the strength,
weaknesses (internal factors), opportunities and
threats (external factors) in an organization to
achieve a goal.
• Internal factors- are factors within the
company, the strength and weakness of the
company/organization.
• External factors- are affecting factors outside
the company that affects the plan of the
company/organization.
b. PESTLE analysis
focuses entirely on external factors in the political,
economic, social, technological, environmental, and
legal realms that your organization can’t control but
should prepare for.

Such an analysis might call attention to things like

changing tax legislation, new laws or legal procedures,
fluctuating interest rates, etc. Any change that might
occur and would have a material impact on your
business should be considered in your strategy
planning.
PESTLE stands for (political, economic,
social and technological) is tool used in
an organization that can assess major
external factors that influence its operation
in order to achieve goal and be competitive.
Applying
Intuitive
Analysis
Creative solution using
Intuitive thinking

Intuitive thinking is the ability to understand the reality

without using logical reasoning. It uses years of
experiences and your senses to create solution to a
certain problem in the community.

Intuitive thinking can actually create solution without

using tool analysis as long as there’s a lot of
experiences and expertise and at the same time social
networks can be used to create solutions.
A social network is a set of social actors (such as
individual or organization, institutions) in a social
structure that interacts with each other.

In the map of social networks, it helps us to

examine and understand situations which can
identify problems/threats in a certain community,
since these networks are interrelated. Institutions
like politics, economic, cultural and even kinship
ties help to examine and identify problems in
making creative solutions.
Understanding
Networks
What are networks?
Networks are a set of
‘nodes and ties’
(Brass,1999:42).

The things that are connected

are usually called nodes. A node
might be a person, a computer,
or even a hyperlinked text.

Connections are links between

the nodes. They are relations
that bind the tie or even makes
the ties suffer.
Understanding
Globalization
Globalization is the
most powerful force for
change in the world today
affecting all societies in the
planet.

It entails the movement of

capital, free flow of goods
and services, increased
mobility of individuals, and
expansion of multinational
corporations and
transnational organizations.

and services, increased

Roland Robertson,
a professor of sociology
at the University of
Aberden, was
the first person who
defined globalization as
"the understanding of
the world and
the increased
perception of the
world as a whole."
Some of the factors that cause
globalization are labor and migration.

• Labor is defined as work, especially

hard physical work.

• Migration is a movement to another

place, often of a large group of people.
Globalization and
Migration

According to the
International Organization
for Migration (IOM),
Migration is a movement
of a person or groups from
one territory to another for
the purpose of seeking
temporary or permanent
residence.
Why Do People Migrate?

People migrate for various reasons.

These reasons may fall under four
categories: environmental,
political, cultural, and economic.
According to the IOM there are two
factor that categorize migration:
• The push factors are those that
motivate people to leave their
place because of difficulty such
as food shortage, war, flood etc.
• While, the pull factors are those
that attract them to their place of
destination.
Types of Migration
This categorization of
migration is based on its
nature and reason. The
International Organization on
Migration(IMO) identified the
common types of migration:

1. Internal Migration
2. External Migration
3. Emigration
4. Immigration
1. Internal Migration- this includes persons or
groups moving to a new place within one’s won
country. Example the movement of Filipino
Muslims to Visayas to avoid militarization.

2. External Migration- This is moving to a new

residence in a different country, state, or
continent. Example Some Asians migrate to
Europe because of its pleasant climate.
3. Emigration- consists of persons or groups
departing from one country in view of settling to
another. For example, John’s family emigrated
from Thailand.

4. Immigration- This is a process where

individuals or groups move in to another country
for settlement. For instance, after getting married,
Ronel and Liza immigration to Hawaii.
People are more willing to move between different
countries today in search
for work. Remittances now play a large role in
transfers from developed countries to
developing countries.
Types of Globalization

1. Economic Globalization
is the increasing economic
integration and
interdependence of
national, regional, and local
economies across the world
through an intensification
of cross boarder movement
of goods, services,
technologies and capital.
Examples:
• Trans-national trades are companies that extend beyond the
borders of one country example of these are Unilever and
McDonalds.

• World Trade Organization is the only global international

organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. The
WTO has 164 members and 24 observer governments.

• Foreign Direct Investment is an investment in the form of a

controlling ownership in a business in one country by an entity
based in another country.
It is thus distinguished from a foreign portfolio investment by a
notion of direct control. In 2019, China and South Korea followed
Singapore as the largest investors in the Philippines.
2. Social
Globalization is a social
transformation or
process leading to the
achievement of people-
centered development.
Human-centered
development concept is
offered as an alternative
strategy to bring about a
more equity development
outcome.
Examples:
• UN General Assembly

• Partnership of International Development

Programs

• Social Integration, Gender Equity and access to

Social Services

• HIV/AIDS Awareness
3. Political Globalization
refers to an increasing trend
toward multilateralism
in an emerging transnational
state apparatus and the
emergence of national and
international non-
governmental organizations
that act as watchdogs over
governments.
The government has four distinct
roles in addressing sustainability
concerns. These roles are as follows:

1. Policy development
2. Regulation
3. Facilitation
4. Internal sustainability management
4. Financial Globalization is
a collective concept that
refers to increasing
global linkages created
through cross-border
financial flows. Financial
integration
refers to an individual
country's linkages to
international capital markets.
5. Technological
Globalization
is accelerated in
large part by
technological
transmission, the
spread of
technology across
borders.
Although the Philippines is
not the world's least
technologically advanced
country, it is far from
leading.

It ranks 83rd out of 138

countries in terms of
technological readiness,
according to
the Department of Science
and Technology (DOST).
6. Ecological
Globalization
occurs when
ecosystems are
constantly exchanging
materials through the
movement of air in the
atmosphere, the flow of
water in rivers and the
migration of animals
across the landscape.
7. Geographical
Globalization is defined
as the set of processes,
economic,
social, cultural,
technological, and
institutional that
contributes to the
relationship
between societies and
individuals around the
world.
Planetary
Networks
The concept of planetary network emphasizes that
everything on earth is interconnected. Whatever
happens to one element on earth has effect to the
other components.

Planetary networks refer to the interconnections and

interrelations among the various elements in the
natural environment enveloping and affecting Earth
as well as beyond Earth’s surface.

It includes the rain, the wind, the sun’s rays, gasses

and other climate-related elements.
Global warming is a
phenomenon which
refers to the rising of
global average
temperature on
Earth’s surface due to
the thinning of the
ozone layer in Earth’s
atmosphere.
Ozone stays high up in the atmosphere where it is
formed, and its huge quantity is enough to form
shield for earth against the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

Ultraviolet rays can cause cornea damage and skin

cancer; stunt the growth and food manufacturing
process of green plants and destroy the floating
microorganisms at the base of the ocean food chain.

Global warming causes changes in the climate

patterns and weather cycles of the Earth.
Climate change
refers to the major
changes in the climate
that last for long
periods of time. Climate
refers to the prevailing
set of atmospheric
conditions such as
temperature and
humidity of a place
within a span of time.
 The Effects of
Consumption
and Production
Patterns on
Climate Change
Production refers to
how people generate
and manufacture the
products they need to
use, sell, or consume.
Almost everything
comes from natural
resources which are
depleted every time
they are used.
If production pattern is characterized by heavy
dependence on coal, the problem of climate change
will be more aggravated. China, for instance, has
large coal mines and relief on them for its energy
requirements. This makes China one of the most
polluted countries on Earth. Dependence on
petroleum in the manufacture and production of
goods makes U.S. produced 23 percent of global
carbon emission, while it makes eastern European
countries, including Russia, produce 14 percent of
carbon emission (Harper 2001).
Consumption refers
to the use of economic
or consumer goods
and resources.
Consumption patterns
can be categorized as
individual, family,
company and
government
consumption.
In economics, the more consumption, the
more demand, the more demand the
more production, the more production
the more extraction to natural resources,
the more extraction the faster for the
resources to destroy. The resources in
our environment are limited but the need
for production and consumption is
unlimited.
Climate change impacts

The impacts of climate change are

already measurable and visible around
the globe. Climate models project
increasing impacts to people a d
ecosystems as temperatures continue to
increase.
