<p align="justify">Internal factor evaluation (IFE) matrix is a strategy formulation tool which is used to examine the strengths and weaknesses in the functional area of a business. In IFE Matrix it is more important to thoroughly understand the factors included rather than the actual numbers. Therefore intuitive judgments are required in developing IFE Matrix. Step by step construction of IFE Matrix is given for the Perrigo Company (Leading global healthcare supplier that develops, manufactures and distributes over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription pharmaceuticals). </p>

</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">In the second column, assign weights to each factor ranging from 0.0 (not important to 1 (most important). Greater weights should be given to those internal factors which have grater influence on the organizational performance. The sum of all weights must equal 1. </div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">In the third column, rate each factor ranging from 1 to 4. Here, rating 1 represents major weakness, rating 2 shows minor weakness. Similarly, rating 3 indicates minor strength whereas rating 4 shows major strength. It means that weakness must receive 1 or 2 rating while strength must get 3 or 4 rating.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">In the fourth column, calculate weighted score by multiplying each factor&#8217;s score by its rating.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Find the total weighted score by adding the weighted scores for each variable. </div>
</li>
