For the Ford Motor Company develop a list of alternative options to expand their global footprint and not be so dependent on the United States– include those that may be “far-fetched” without judging them. Note: ‘Do nothing’ is often a reasonable alternative. There should be multiple alternatives/options for the problem (3-8 is typical). Evaluate the alternatives by considering if the company can afford it; whether it will evoke a response from competitors; how employees/ customers/ stakeholders are likely to view the change; and how the alternative fits with organizational culture, vision, mission and goals.
