Short Paper: Strategic Management RG

Imagine that you are a nonprofit executive director who has been asked to prepare a report to the board about the possibility of opening an after-school program at a local elementary school. The mission of the program is to provide recreation and homework assistance programs to children ages 7 – 9. You do not need to write a plan, but instead write a short paper that explains how strategic management works answering these questions: What resources would you use to develop a plan? Are there risks? What might they be (list 5 and explain why they are important considerations)? List 5 ways you would measure the success of the program and why you would use them.

Guidelines for Submission: Short papers should use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to a discipline-appropriate citation method. Page-length requirements: 1–2 pages.
