Introduction
Strategy development tools are some intangible tools that help to analyze the business situations for a company, based on which it develops its business strategies. These tools implement certain analytical techniques, such as SWOT, PESTEL, Porter’s Five Forces and Input-Output analyses, that help to identify the key factors affecting the company or industry’s business operations, understand their business environment, prioritize the concerns accordingly and finally, frame strategies according to them. The present essay endeavors to discuss three of such tools and analyze their implications in terms of three selected areas— the child care, education as well as age care industry.
