This includes assessing the organization’s strategy and market position. Use the framework implied in Michael Porter’s (1997) article “What is Strategy.” When describing the business strategy of your organization, consider the following questions:
What is the target market (target customer)?
What is your organization’s value proposition (How does it deliver value that satisfies the target’s wants and needs?)?

You are a research analyst for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The department has received credible intelligence from the NSA, FBI, and Department of Defense that Al Qaeda is planning a biological attack using smallpox against Los Angeles, CA. Although the dispersal method is unknown, it is believed the most likely method will be airborne, through a populated shopping mall’s ventilation system. The lax security at these locations, coupled with a wide social and economic population sampling, will make identifying victims and stopping the spread of the disease difficult. The intelligence indicates that the attack is scheduled to occur within 7–10 days.
Your department has been tasked with reviewing historical incidents of smallpox, including academic assessments of its use as a biological agent for terrorism. Use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s smallpox Web site as a guide to available resources and current planning (CDC Smallpox Information). With these tools, develop a communication plan that addresses the following:

Relevant Information for Decision Making
Modular Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:
•Case ◦Identify the relevant costs in a decision-making situation.
◦Describe the special relevant costs in multinational decision making.
•SLP ◦Identify the relevant costs in an organization of interest to each student.
•Discussion ◦Define and discuss the relevance of cost allocations.
Module Overview
One of the most important decisions to make in generating information to assist in decision-making is to select only that information that is relevant to that decision. This is particularly important when decisions are made in a multi-national environment.
Recall that in the second module we demonstrated that historical cost was an inappropriate measurement for assets in most circumstances, as the historical cost will not change no matter what decision is made.
Here is the single most important guideline for selecting relevant costs for any decision-making situation: a cost that does not change when alternate decisions are selected is not relevant to that decision.
Here are some follow-up generalizations. As with all generalizations, there will always be exceptions.
1.In general, sunk costs are not relevant because they cannot be avoided in a decision. They have already been incurred or are committed to be incurred in the future. Remember that committed costs are a form of sunk costs.
2.In general, historical costs are not relevant because they will be the same regardless of the option made. (The major exception is the impact of historical costs on taxes.) An alternative is the use of current market prices for assets.
3.In general, opportunity costs are relevant if the opportunities are different between or among the options.
4.In a make-or-buy situation, all costs and revenues that are different between the option to make and the option to buy are relevant.
