MGT622 Strategic Management
Discussion
Introduction
Whereas the assignments will focus on the assigned case, the discussions will focus more on your reactions to the text, based on real-world experience.
Initial Post Instructions
In the first discussion, think about the way strategy is crafted in your organization and respond to the following:
· What is that organization?
· What business is it in?
· How is strategy formulated?
· Do you think it is appropriate for the organization?
· How broad is the participation?
· Does this process result in a well-devised, functional strategy that is effective for the organization?
Reflect on how the course material plays out in your organization or organizations with which you are familiar. In as much as this is a fairly large online class, try to be concise and parsimonious in your responses.
Remember also to reference the book and at least one additional scholarly resource in your initial posts to be eligible for maximum points.
Secondary Post Instructions
In your responses, think about what you have read this week and push each other to think outside of the box. The text mentioned Starbucks. What other companies can you use as an example of good and/or bad strategic plans? Are the examples being shared using proactive or reactive initiatives? Do not hesitate to disagree but remember to be respectful and justify your points with research. Consider in your response how might they persuade a peer who disagrees with their position to advocate a new point of view?
