Discussion Board Due Saturday June 18, 2016 6 PM CST.
Consider your organization or an organization you have worked for in the past. What is/was their strategy? Is/Was it a sound strategy? Do/Did they have a competitive advantage? Do/Did they have a sustainable competitive advantage? Is/Was the organization adhering to their strategy or deviating from it? Where are/were they strong? Where are/were they weak? If you were President of the organization, what recommendations would you make to ensure success with this strategy?
NOTE: I have often heard people say, we need a new strategy. It is IMPERATIVE to understand that changing the strategy is a LARGE and CUMBERSOME undertaking. What they really meant was we need to adjust our tactics in carrying out the strategy. It is important to understand the difference between tactics and strategy. Most of the time, organizations do not change their strategy, they just adjust their tactics. If they do change their strategy, it is not done is a couple of weeks. It usually takes up to two or three years to see the benefits.
