Business Success in the 21st Century | Unit 1 Assignment
Paper: Business Success in the 21st Century
Business success in the increasingly complex global economy, demands a
high degree of productivity and effectiveness from all employees, both on an
individual level as well as performance in teams. Ollila (2013) tells us “For
the future challenges the world faces are complicated and global
in scope. They cross borders. They potentially affect all of us. They will
require far more collaboration between government, business and civil society —
not less†(para 1).
In your reading for this week you have learned about teams and
challenges to business success. For this 3–4 page (not including cover and
reference pages) APA compliant paper, respond to the following:
The most significant challenge(s) you see in this rapidly changing global economy to business success for startup companies seeking to expand globally. Your thoughts and hypothesis on these challenges should be supported by at least two scholarly sources (Clements, n.d.) in addition to the readings and videos for this week to achieve a high degree of credibility. Note: You can do a search on the PG Library search bar while putting a check in the “Limit to: Peer Reviewed†box to access scholarly sources.
- Describe
the skills that will be needed by leaders, individuals, and teams to
overcome these challenges. Support your thoughts with research from at
least two scholarly sources in addition to the Reading and
videos for this week to achieve a high degree of credibility.
- Provide
a work or personal example of a time when you took a leadership role, what
skills did you use in this leadership role and what the results were. If
you looked back, was there anything you would have done differently to be
more effective?
- Conclude
by providing specific examples of how you can use this
information to achieve successful performance in the Marketplace
simulation.
NOTE: IF YOUR RESEARCH EFFORTS PRODUCE SCHOLARLY SOURCES THAT SUPPORT
THE RESEARCH REQUIRED TO COMPLETE ITEMS 1 AND 2, THEN YOU WILL ONLY NEED TO USE
TWO SOURCES PLUS THE REQUIRED READINGS.
