, market analysis as defined by Suarez 3, Vesper 4, and White 1 forbusiness enterprises was used as a framework to review the results and develop an action planthat takes advantage of the Purdue system’s strengths and minimizes or eliminates itsdeficiencies. The resulting strategic plan combined elements from the self analysis with the PurdueStrategic Plan and the Strategic Plan for the College of Engineering. This was important,because in aligning the revitalization with the overall Purdue and College of Engineering plans,we achieved automatic administrative buy-in. The institutional commitment to change wasnecessary, since the Cooperative Education Program at Purdue has significant tradition andinertia associated with it. It was crucial
