Literature Review
New theories related to the case study:
PESTEL
The PESTEL analysis is an effective tool that can be used to analyze the Halogen
Foundation. The tool assist in identifying the vital internal and external forces, which can be
related to the company as these attributes,creates both threats and opportunity for the Halogen
Foundation (Song, Sun and Jin 2017). The main objective of conducting the analysis is based on
the identification of the external forces, which affects the organization, and the changes that can
occur in future. The PESTLE analysis exploits the opportunity and defends the factors that
causes are threats, which is faced by the Halogen Foundation due to the presence of the
competitors (Andrei and Prisecaru 2014).
SWOT

that forms an effective tool and framework which can be utilized by the Halogen Foundation for

6MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE
better functioning of the organization. Once the SWOT analysis is conducted for the company
then it becomes easier for the organization to plan the strategic goals. The framework helps to
recognize the attributes so that the organization can device the aims and goals accordingly and
can be based on the findings and the analysis (Yuan 2013). The SWOT framework also helps to
assess the external and internal factor of the organization that affect the Foundation and assist
them in formulating the current and future potential of the Halogen Company.
FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS
The Porter’s Five Factor Force framework is an effective tool which is implemented by
the Halogen Foundation to examine the competitiveness. The five force framework helps the
organization to recruit the young section of the employee which would yield the company to
more profit from the point of sales as well as revenue (E. Dobbs 2014). It determines the
intensity and the attractiveness which is related to the revenue system as competing with the rival
firms. However, the Porter’s Five Factoris very productive and developing that leads the
production of Halogen Foundation to formulate the strategies in revealing the power of the five
forces which area a evident of the organization that caters to the youth section of the society in
Singapore.
VRIO Framework
The VRIO analysisis considered as an effective business tool that is analyzed as a
framework, which is formed as part of the Foundation’s largest systematic scheme. The basic
strategic that is formed as a process of the foundation goes through the starting point with the
vision statement and continues as an objective with both the internal and external strategies of

7MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE
the business environment, strategic implementation and strategic choices (Brem, Maier and
Wimschneider 2016). The VRIO Framework serves a tool for the Halogen Foundation which
helps the employee and the members of the authority to protect the resources and create
capabilities for the organization that would facilitate with the opportunity of long term
competitive advantage.
Tows Matrix
It is derived from the SWOT analysis which can be stated as the internal strength and
weakness and the external factors that is threats and opportunity.
Internal Environment Analysis
The internal environmentprovides with the opportunity for the Halogen Foundation
where the strengths are analyzed for the purpose of future development and identification of the
weaknesses so that the strategies can be formulated to overcome the weakness (Khan, Alam and
Alam 2015).
5 WHYS’
The 5 why’s is an effective tool that assist to solve the issues and identify the root cause
of the particular problem by asking the question WHY 5 times.Hence the five technique offers
various types of benefit that helps to recognize the difficulties and the issue which contain
certain opening and are associated to 5 WHY’S. The 5 techniques are linked to one another
which is based on the Halogen Foundation (Hair et al, 2015).
Balance Scorecard

framework and manages the strategies. It creates a link that is a strategic target, measured

8MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE
objective and initiative. It balances the measure which is financially performed to measure the
objective.
Ansoff Matrix
The Ansoff Matrix is one the effective tool of management as it is grouped in different
developmental stages. The focus is on market penetration that seeks the firm to achieve the
growth with the existing product and the recent market and it aims to develops the firm to set the
product in the existing market.
Gaps in new theories
PESTEL
The PESTLE tool is providing an outlook of the Halogen Foundation’s business
environment and it even assist in identifying the threats and opportunity (Cadle, Paul and Turner
2014). The most vital gap is associated with the tool that the organizations is using to change in
an unpredicted manner. Hence it becomes a challenge for maintaining an accuracy of
information and it can become expensive for the Halogen Company to conduct the analysis on a
standard basis.
SWOT
The SWOT analysis helps in providing assistance to the Halogen Company which assist
to bring out the strength, weakness, opportunity and threat so that the company can recruit more
illegible candidate (Gürel and Tat 2017). Therefore the gaps which are comprised with the

9MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE
SWOT for the Halogen Foundation is the recruitment procedure of the young people who has the
ability to delegate the function of leadership in the organization.
FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS
The Porter’s five forces analysis framework assist in evaluating the competitiveness of
the particular field of organization. In this case it is the Halogen Foundation which forms the five
major elements and which is highly depended on the other tool called PESTLE (Yunna and
Yisheng 2014). Through the medium of five forces it helps to provide assistance in providing
information for the purpose of creating gap that is associated with the individual analysis.
VRIO Framework
The VRIO Framework assist to know the issues that is faced by the rival firms and along
with the existence of the competitive strategy of the company. In the case study of the Halogen
Foundation that is leading to aim and develop young leaders also follows certain gaps that the
VRIO for Halogen. The user of the framework is bound to create frequent mistake in evaluating
the strategies (Knott 2015). The unknown changes in the working space are economic and
natural in the duration of the working hours, this in turn also means that the advantage is
sustained in nature and will not continue identify the time period.
TOWS Matrix
The gap that is created from the tool is very simple and relevant that generates the
strategic opportunity. By using it the matrix looks intelligent and it can be taken advantage of the

10MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE
places that bears the opportunity. The impact of the weakness is protected against the threat that
is available.
Internal Environment Analysis
The internal environment analysisassist in the technique of methodologies that evaluate
the methodologies as the key feature of the Halogen Foundation that helps to recognize the
resources that would be required by the company in near future. The gap that is created can be
filled by the employment of candidates who can willfully contribute their time and effort in the
organization (Kraja and Osmani 2015). The young generation employment technique in the field
of leadership. The internal environment analysis for the Halogen Foundation lacks the quality of
forewarning events and also lacks strategic approach.
5 WHYS’
This tool is used to solve the problems that are associated with the managerial activities
of the organization. When the leader or the members of the authority identify the root cause of
the problemthe tool of WHY is implemented. The 5 WHY techniques offers a number of causes
that has certain gaps which are comprised by the 5 WHY’s framework (Noeet al, 2017). The
cause of the problem remains unknown and each presents with the system of sufficient cause that
is related with the case of Halogen Foundation.
The 5 WHY’S that are related to the Halogen Foundation are:
 1st Why- Why are the program and the cause of Halogen lacking behind in
flexible working hours?
 2nd Why- Why is the employment attrition rate so high?

11MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE
 3rd Why- What can be the cause of controlling retention of employees in the
company?
 4th Why- what are the activities that causes the working so rigid to the employee?
 5th Why- why is the pay scale so low for the newly recruited employees?
Balance Scorecard
The gap that is created within the balance scorecard is the variation in the four
perspective in the scorecard. The perspective can be highlighted to establish the cause and effect
relationship and the logic that is planned for strategic map, processes and learning and
development prospective.
Ansoff Matrix
The Ansoff Matrix creates the gap and is considered as one of the effective tool of
management. The market can easily penetrate to the lower quadrant which has the safest options
available. The concept of product development is slightly more risky because a new product is
being introduced in the market.
Sub Conclusion
The tools and framework, which is all used in the report regarding the Halogen
Foundation,is because the organization aims to recruit new employee who has attended the age
group within the youth section of the society. The company is aiming for the year 2028 that it
will increase the number of participants in the company and raise till 40% of the global
population. It is also investing in the candidate to provide the young people with equal
