Current Event Blog 2
For this SLP submission you will be asked to submit your
second blog entry about another important aspect of the strategic management
process and to provide examples based on current events pulled from recent
articles from reputable sources (such as a major regional or national news
source like the NY Times, Business Week, etc.).
Recall that the 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(s) serving as the main focus of your paper must be recent.
For your second SLP submission, describe why environmental
analysis is important and find two recent articles that demonstrate how one or
two organizations have reacted to a turbulent or competitive environment in a
fashion which indicates they have leveraged their strengths, overcome
weaknesses, taken advantage of opportunities, or successfully faced threats to
maintain a competitive edge. What is/are the lesson(s) to be learned that you
want your blog readers to take away from your analysis?
