  • Identify and discuss how components work together to create value for the organization - using Figure 1.1 in Chapter 1 of our textbook.

Individual Assignment: Strategic Process Management Overview Paper

Purpose of Assignment

 

The Week 1 assignment really lays the foundation for the rest of the course.  Students have the opportunity to look at the entire process of strategic management of an organization as well as the mission, vision, and values.  With this foundation, students will be working to develop a strategic plan and also create different mini-strategies for team assignments.  They are able to take a look at the process as a whole in Week 1 and see how what they are doing fits in with the process.
