SPL Module1 | Mission, Vision, Values, and Goals
ASSIGNMENT EXPECTATIONS:
In this Module, you will be considered a Strategic Management subject matter expert. You will blog about important aspects of the Strategic Management process, using articles about current events pulled from reputable sources (e.g., trade journals, newspapers, or magazines such as The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Business Week, or Forbes) to support your key arguments.
For the Module 1 SLP, find a recent article
that provides an example of an organization that appears to be successful (or
that has been unsuccessful) in fulfilling its Mission, Vision, Values, or goals
Your main article(s) for your blog entry
must be no older than 12 months. You may, of course, use older sources to
support your discussion and analysis; however, the current event article
serving as the main focus of your paper must be no more than 12 months old.
Remember that you are playing the role of a
business expert who is blogging in the context of Strategic Management. The key
is to convey to the public the importance of the Mission, Vision, and/or Values
statements or organizational goals in a Strategic Management context. You will
need to provide examples of an organization that has done particularly well (or
one that has done poorly) in fulfilling its stated Mission, Vision, Values
statements, or its goals.
