SWOT Analysis

UWP

Strenghts This humanitarian project would remotivate the troops by providing a change of routine, by giving them a sense of achievement, and by building positive relationships with the local population. (47-49)	Weaknesses The reputation of the UWP troops gradually deteriorated. (25) Moreover, “the Olive Hats” in Loyka started to resent being there and motivation was beginning to deteriorate. (28-29) some peacekeeping troops would need extra training in construction skills and safety procedures. (92-93)
Opportunities The existing University Campus was small, old and in need of extensive repair. (76 - 77)	Threats However, opposition to the UWP presence grew as did violence against the troops. (or weakness) (27) As a result, there was a significant decrease in the number of doctors in Loyka. (68-69) Conservatives in the country, Kos warned, would be strongly opposed to Loykese women receiving care from foreign male doctors.

Ansoff Matrix

UWP

Product Development
UWP would be Product development because they have already been for a while in Loyka therefore they are in the same “market” and with the construction of either the hospital or the university it would be the “product” (in this case a service)

Kos

Strategic, tactic and operational objectives (apply to UWP)

Strategic and operational objectives both help to Loyka in decision-making in order to know how to achieve the aims of either the university or the hospital. It is as important for Loyka to set operational objectives as strategic objectives. As seen in this case, these type of objectives would allow General Pierce to fulfill the two objectives given to her: improving the image of the “Olive Hats” (strategic) and the remotivation of their troops (operational). If a hospital were to be constructed, prenatal care might have to be taken into account for an operational objective. On the other hand, for the construction of a university, there might be the need to rebuild the social infrastructure, which could be a strategic objective. As seen in this case, the setting of both types of objectives are important to Loyka, since the company could see which objectives are more likely to be achieved in order to know which construction is the most suitable.

Tactics: Are short-term objectives which help achieve the strategic objectives. In this case, a tactic could be the finding of a source in which something could be used in order to improve the image of the “Olive Hats”.
