The Strategic Management Cycle
Current Event Blog 1
In your SLP for this course you will be considered a
strategic management subject matter expert and will be asked to blog about important
aspects of the strategic management process and to provide examples to support
your key arguments based on current events pulled from recent articles from
reputable sources (such as a major national news source like the NY Times,
Business Week, etc.).
Your main article(s) for each of your blog entries must be
no older than 4 months old. If you use an older article as your primary focal
article, you will be asked to redo the assignment. You may, of course, use
older sources to support your discussion but the current event article serving
as the main focus of your paper must be recent.
For your first SLP discuss why the mission and vision are
important in helping to shape organizational strategy and find two recent
articles (no older than four months old) that provide examples of organizations
that seem to be living up to (or failing at) fulfilling their mission and
vision.
Remember that you are playing the role of a person blogging
about strategic management and the key here is to convey to the public the
importance of the mission and vision statement in a strategic management
context and to provide examples of organizations who do well (or poorly) in
fulfilling their stated missions and visions. Also remember to keep your
discussion focused on strategic management.
