1. Environmental Scanning
Explanation: Environmental scanning involves analyzing
external and internal environments to identify opportunities and
threats, as well as strengths and weaknesses. This stage helps
organizations understand the competitive landscape and prepare
for strategic decisions.
Application to Michelin:
• External Environment: Michelin recognized a growing
interest in high-quality dining experiences and the need for
reliable restaurant recommendations. The external
environment included the competitive restaurant industry and
evolving consumer preferences.
, • Internal Environment: Michelin, originally a tire company,
had the resources and reputation to venture into the restaurant
industry. The company leveraged its brand credibility and
existing distribution channels to introduce the Michelin
Guide.
2. Strategy Formulation
Explanation: Strategy formulation involves developing specific
strategies based on the information gathered during environmental
scanning. This stage includes setting objectives, defining the
direction, and creating plans to achieve competitive advantage.
Application to Michelin:
• Strategic Objective: Michelin aimed to diversify its
business and enhance its brand by creating a guide that
would elevate dining standards and provide valuable
recommendations to travelers and locals.
• Strategic Direction: Michelin formulated a strategy to
publish a high-quality guide that would reflect rigorous
standards for restaurant evaluations. This guide would help
Michelin differentiate itself from competitors by associating
its brand with excellence in dining.
3. Strategy Implementation

allocation, organizing teams, and managing operations to execute
the strategic plans effectively.
