Application: Virtual City: Revitalizing Masachapa Project.
This week, the following crisis has unfolded: LaPrensa, Nicaraguaâs largest newspaper, just published a story about Masachapaâs mayor, Maria Gutierrez, accusing Mayor Gutierrez of misappropriation of public monies and other acts of corruption. While the mayorâs office denies all charges, this story has cast a dark cloud over the town and might jeopardize the RMP altogether. This week, you are asked to elaborate on a strengths-weakness-opportunities-challenges and threats (SWOC/T) analysis for the town of Masachapa.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review Week 5 information in the Virtual City: Revitalizing Masachapa Project multimedia.
Review Chapter 5 in Bryson (2018).
Consider the town of Masachapaâs internal and external environments in order to perform a SWOC/T analysis for the RMP.
The Assignment (3â4 pages):
Elaborate on a SWOC/T analysis for Masachapaâs RMP.
Your analysis should address internal and external environmental assessments.
Using the knowledge gained over the first 5 weeks of the course, assess the impact of this external shock on the RMP; provide guidance for ânext stepsâ to be taken, and explain your reasoning for how to manage this crisis.
In this exercise, you may consider preparing background reports on external forces affecting the townâs RMP (e.g., potential customers, donor agencies, lenders, other collaborators) with similar reports on internal forces (e.g., local town officials, local citizen groups).
Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. Use APA style for this and all assignments.
