how to do. It assists the business in meeting its goals and objectives by utilizing the currently available
resources and skills. It helps the business in enhancing its profitability and assets.

Introduction
A well thought business plan is just a stack of paper if it is not accompanied by clear procedures to
implement the strategies suggested in the business plan. Also, the analysis of its formulation and
implementation is necessary to judge whether the plan is executed in the right manner. Business plan
analysis is conducted with the intention to provide the solutions regarding the problems faced by the
business in working under real world conditions (Otoo et al.,2016).
So, in the following report, the business plan analysis of five companies will be conducted to assess their
strategies. Further, the business plan of Woolworths Group will be formulated and implemented in detail.
Suggestions in the form of a report to improve the implementation of the plan will also be discussed.
