2. Give a supporting rationale for each factor. Which corner of the matrix do you think characterizes factors most commonly in an EFE Matrix? Why? Which corner of the matrix do you think characterizes factors least commonly in an EFE Matrix? Why? What could you say about the middle of the matrix in terms of factors commonly included in an EFE Matrix?
