Week 4

Review the Zappos Corporate Culture Presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyIFsDyn6m8.  Using the material from the text, discuss ways a corporation's structure and culture can be internal strengths or weaknesses.  Do you think the corporate culture at Zappos would be effective in all companies?  Why or why not?   Can you identify a corporate strategy that would not benefit with this type of corporate culture?

For each forum assignment, you are responsible for the following:

1. Submit a well researched and documented reply to the topic question (at least 250 words) - posting it inside the forum for feedback and comments by your classmates. You do not need a title page. Please do not use attachments in the discussions. This should be posted no later than Wednesday.
2. Respond to at least two of your classmate's forum posts in the subthread section of the Forum. 
   Replies to classmates must be substantive, at least 100 words and incorporate concepts and materials that you have learned this week.

Your responses to your classmates(s) constitute a portion of your Forum grade, so be sure that they are meaningful responses that contribute to the overall quality of the weekly forum.

Please submit your initial posts by Wednesday to allow your classmates time to respond. Points (10%) will be deducted for late entry. These written assignments are worth a significant portion of your final grade. Failure to complete all course assignments will diminish your final grade.
