Strategic management analysis: Missouri Baptist Medical Center (MBMC)
Abstract:
This graduate management project offers a thorough strategic management analysis of Missouri Baptist Medical Center (MBMC). MBMC, a member of BJC HealthCare, is located approximately 15 miles west of Saint Louis, Missouri. The situational analysis begins with an external evaluation of MBMCs operational environment and a profile of its main competitors. Opportunities for MBMC include its location in an affluent area and its affiliation with a large health system. MBMC also faces several threats and strong competition. An internal examination of MBMC and an explanation of its existing directional strategies revealed passionate staff and financial strength. Potential strategies for MBMC to pursue in the next one to three years include strengthening relationships with physicians. The analysis concludes with the selection of a strategy map and associated plans, such as expansion into other attractive markets.
