Explain the five stages of the strategic management process (goal-setting, analysis, strategy formation, strategy implementation, and strategy monitoring). Be sure to also include the following:

• Analyze each stage and the importance of each in the strategic management process.
• Identify and explain the behaviors that are usually associated with each stage. Provide examples to support your findings.
• Critique the application of each stage, including any challenges your audience may encounter once in the field.
• Recommend opportunities to strengthen and develop operations using the process.

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists and should cite material appropriately.

Support your presentation with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.
