You are now leading a cross-functional team to move forward with the company initiative. To remain a viable competitor and meet the demands of consumers\u2019 desire for technology, the company\u2019s chief technology officer (CTO) has decided to implement the internet of things (IoT) into its product line.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">In Milestone One, you and your cross-functional team looked at risks and benefits of each innovation option, competitors in the market, and the company\u2019s internal capability for moving forward with the innovation. After doing this analysis, you presented your recommendation to various stakeholders about how to proceed. You chose one of the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"color: inherit; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"color: inherit; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit;\">A.

Now you are ready to develop a strategy for taking the innovation to market. In order to develop a strategy, you will need to look at your competitors\u2019 relative strengths in the current marketplace, to understand how the company compares to your competitors, and to identify the total market and the market\u2019s annual growth rate. Finally, you also need to share your thoughts on how to respond to changes in business conditions. Although no one can predict what is going to happen, it is important to think about how flexible your plan is in order to meet unexpected conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"cursor: auto;\">Prompt<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Using the recommendation you provided in Milestone One, develop a strategic plan to implement the innovation and gain competitive advantage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Use the<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b><i><a style=\"cursor: auto;\">Sales Forecast<\/a>,<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><a style=\"cursor: auto;\">Comparative Growth Data<\/a><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>and<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><a style=\"cursor: auto;\">Comparative Operating Statistics<\/a><\/i><\/b><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>to complete this assignment.<b style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"> (attached in the attachments)<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Strategic Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Analyze the<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><strong style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">competitors\u2019 relative strengths<\/strong><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>in the marketplace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<ul style=\"font-size: 18px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Write a short paragraph describing the growth rate of each competitor.
