Introductions and Strategic Thinking

First, introduce yourself to your peers by sharing something unique about your background. Explain how you expect this course to help you move forward in your current or future career.

Then, choose ONE of the following to respond to in your discussion post, making sure to utilize at least one reference and an associated in-text citation in proper SWS format:

• Differentiate the terms strategic management, strategic thinking, strategic planning, and strategic momentum.
• What can cause well‐thought‐out strategies (developed using all the steps in strategic planning) to change?
• What are the elements of strategic planning? Why do we engage in strategic planning? Is strategic thinking enough?

Be sure to respond to at least one classmate who answered a different question than you.
