PPOG 506 GAPS Analysis
Political turbulence is a key factor for decision makers when considering entering, expanding, or terminating operations in a country or region. This is a group assignment. After you have been placed in your group by your instructor, your group will select a country. The group will endeavor to understand and manage the political risks affecting:
- The active social, political, cultural, and economic environment;
- The political stability and sustainability structure;
- Access to strategic human, natural, and economic skills and resources;
- Access to allies and enemies;
- Local and regional partnerships;
- Supply chains and trade routes; and
- Access to energy, commodities, and technology.
Advice: Start early and work for a few weeks to learn about your selected country. The GAPS Analysis, a combined group document, must be 5–7 pages and adhere to current Turabian format.
