  • Firm C uses the McKinsey 7S Model.

The CEO has asked you to write a brief memo that concisely describes each of these models. In addition to describing these models, this memo must compare and contrast the strengths and limitations of each model and offer a recommendation on which model to use.

The memo should be well-written and meet the following requirements:

  • Include at least four current references from peer-reviewed articles.
  • A reference list is required for this assignment and must be formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA.
