MGT499- W5 Post and Response

MGT 499 Week 5 Discussion

Chapter 6

In Chapter 4, we discussed the internal value chain activities a firm can perform in its business model (see Exhibit 4.7). The value chain priorities can be quite different for firms taking different business strategies. Create examples of value chains for three firms: one using cost leadership, another using differentiation, and a third using a value innovation business-level strategy.

 

Chapter 7

Describe a firm you think has been highly innovative. Which of the four types of innovation—radical, incremental, disruptive, or architectural—did it use? Did the firm use different types over time?

IMPORTANT! Read the following discussion board instructions and grading criteria as a rubric.

'Quality' (10 points), 'Quantity' (5 points), and 'Frequency' (10 points) are the primary evaluation criteria:   

Quality is demonstrated by your ability to “carry” the insights of the respective Chapter into your posts.

Quantity: No maximum number of posting. However, three is the minimum number of posts to get minimum points. 

Frequency is also one of the primary evaluation criteria as a week-long participation assignment. Participate as often as possible throughout each week.  For example, ‘3 postings in one day’ will get a lower frequency grade than ‘3 postings over the multiple days’.

The initial post is due by Wednesday  each week and at least two reply messages to others are due by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. each week.

Do not post at the last minute; you will not receive the max points.  Also, you must give depth to the discussion to receive the points.  

Related examples from the industry that illustrates these concepts and current events issues/commentaries are highly encouraged.

Participate as often as possible throughout each week as a week-long participation assignment.
