Fuzzy 7x6 Matrix Model for Strategic Enterprise Analysis

Goal. The report introduces a new 7x6 matrix model for comprehensive strategic analysis of an enterprise. Methodology. The 7x6 matrix model is a development of a similar 4x6 matrix model and involves an increase in the number of strategic perspectives due to a more detailed analysis of the relationships between the company and its key stakeholders. Along the rows of the matrix are strategic perspectives, and along the columns are strategic maps: Threats, Opportunities, BSC, Risks, Chances, Decisions. At the intersection of the rows and columns of the matrix, key indicators of the company’s performance are located in the form of fuzzy interconnected linguistic variables. The information basement of the matrix contains all quantitative measurements for the enterprise, which then undergo a fuzzyfication procedure. Result. A method for constructing a 7x6 matrix is demonstrated using a simple example. Conclusion. The 7x6 matrix is a mathematical model of a class of enterprise cybernetic systems and has all the properties of models of this class, including the property of homeostasis.
