o Sources you expect to use to perform an external environmental analysis - You first must understand what an external analysis is-consult the text(s) and be sure to note that there are three components to this analysis and in your actual upcoming assignment, they will need to be specifically delineated (it's up to you to identify what they are).

o Sources you expect to use to perform an internal environmental analysis - Just as in the external analysis, you first must understand what an internal analysis is-consult the text(s) and be sure to note that there is a specific process to this analysis (it's up to you to identify it).
