3 page paper due in 5 hours

1)      First prepare a brief individual report demonstrating that you a) understand the key ideas presented in the assigned and recommended readings for this week and b) can analyze critically the extent to which they are applicable in your current or past workplace. Your report should be approximately 800 words and must cite supporting evidence from the text. Barney, J.B., & Hesterly, W.S. (2015). Strategic Management and Competitive Advantage: Concepts and Cases (5th ed.). Pearson Education Inc.: New Jersey. Chapter 1

2)      The question your brief report must address is: What objective evidence is there that your organization (or an alternative approved by your professor)  is focused on its mission, inspired by a vision, guided by a set of core values, committed to accomplishing strategic and financial objectives, and actively guided by a strategy intended to distinguish it as an outstanding enterprise? Be sure to introduce your argument, explain your understanding of key terms, present your reasoning, and include independently verifiable supporting evidence. Rely only upon publicly available information and be sure to cite your sources. Note that you must first post your own individual report before you look at what others in the class have contributed. Do not attempt to peek by creating a placeholder post because faculty are able to access the history of all posts.

Note for students in the public and nonprofit sectors: While some of the strategy concepts and ideas (e.g., competitors and competitive advantage) may not seem familiar or appear relevant in your work context, you will come to understand that most of what you read about and do this semester is actually really important for ALL organizations and their managers. Even though different in scope, length, and the extent to which they have been formally articulated, all organizations have a mission of some sort. The same is true for vision, goals, objectives, and the importance for managers of figuring out what needs to change and how to make that happen. Thus, in this initial class assignment and in those that follow, those in the public and on-profit sectors will have the exciting task of interpreting and adapting the ideas we’ll explore so they make sense in their organizations. Doing this will serve to distinguish you from other managers in your organizations and, once you have completed this course successfully, should be incorporated in your resume as a noteworthy accomplishment.  In the meantime, please never hesitate to reach out and consult with our faculty team whenever you have questions.
