Formulate strategic objectives for the organization (based on the Board minutes).

The strategic objectives for the company that are needed to ensure the successful operation of the business are as follows:

To sell and service MacVille espresso coffee machines in every state of Australia

To increase profit margins by 5% in the next five years

To establish the MacVille brand recognition in key markets in the next five years

To reduce our waste and energy use by 10% within the next five years

The higher authorities of the company will ensure that they will follow these objectives in a proper manner that it helps to develop the business in a desired way. With the help of these objectives, the company will also be able to achieve their mission and visions so that they can operate at national level. 

For each objective, develop and describe strategies that you think could be used to meet the objective in the future.

In order to achieve the first objective, it is important for the company to ensure that they follow the promotional strategy. With the help of this strategy, the espresso machines of the company will be promoted to different states of Australia (Kim et al., 2016). This will help to attract the customers so that the business of the company can grow in a desired manner. Besides this, the company should look to prioritize Java Estates so that they promote MacVille’s product in the Australian market. Besides this, the company will have to look for different warehouses in other cities of Australia so that their promotional strategy can be applied. Apart from this, the company will also be able to outsource their business to the agents in order to operate from other cities of Australia.

The company can use pricing strategy in order to achieve the second objective. The company should ensure that they price their products in such a manner that it is neither too high nor too low. If the prices are too high then the customers will look for other alternatives and not purchase the company’s products (Klassen, Lisowsky & Mescall, 2017). Again if the prices are too low, then the company will not be able earn profit and the profit margins of the company will not increase. It is therefore, very important for the company to ensure that the prices of the products are apt and reasonable. This will help them to increase their profit margins.

The third objective of the company can be achieved through advertising strategies. This will help to develop the brand image of the company’s product in such a manner that it will help to attract the customers (Aristide & Dimitrakakis, 2015). Besides this, the company will be able to get the recognition in the market that they are looking for. The strategic partners should be involved in order to promote the products and continue the process of branding in a proper manner. The company can make use of new technologies in order to carry out their strategy so that the objective can be achieved. 

In order to ensure that the company is able to achieve their fourth objective, it is important to train the employees so that they are able to dispose waste in a proper manner. The company has to develop education programs so that the employees are aware of their actions, it will in turn help to decrease the generation of waste, and the misuse of energy will be lowered (Cummings & Worley, 2014). With the help of this, the company will be able to achieve their mission and vision and carry their business in an efficient manner.
