Strategic Management:
Strategic Choices and Implementation
Business Applications, Analytical Decision
Making, and Problem SolvingThe present course is conceptually linked to
MGT301, and in this assignment it is necessary to look back at the
Module 5 SLP in MGT301. You should
recall the attention given to building business analytical decision
making, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in that course.Your capstone course BUS499, which will be
taken during your final session, will be conceptually linked to this course as
well. In short, this strategic management course is a second in a series
specifically developed to assess your analytical decision making, critical
thinking, and problem-solving skills. Your writing and essay delivery skills
will also be assessed.Assignment: Prepare a final paper to prospective investors based on the
work you have done to date in this course. In this course you have identified
the major mission, vision, and goals; you know the stakeholders; you looked at
the organization from a SWOT perspective; and you know what challenges the
company faces. What do investors need to know based on your analysis?Keep in mind that this SLP submission is the
second in a series of three SLP submissions (which are administered in Module 5
of three core courses) and designed to assess your analytical decision making,
critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Note that your writing and
delivery skills are also assessed.For guidance on writing papers, citing
sources, proper referencing, and so forth, visit Trident's Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality
Academic Paper.SLP Assignment ExpectationsIn this paper, your ability to think
critically and provide insightful analysis is the key. You do not want to just
"rubber stamp" the organization and say they are doing great; you
want to identify specific areas where they fall short as well as where they do
very well. Organize your paper for clarity and document any outside resources.This paper should include:An introduction stating the thesis, position,
or central theme of your paper, a main body focusing on the key assignment
specifications, and a conclusion concisely stating the main points of your
analysis and the conclusions you reached.Document your sources and provide in-text
citations whenever you use information obtained from a background reading or
other outside source, as well as a separate reference list at the end of the
paper. You may use footnotes instead, if you prefer, but you must
document where you got the information you are using in your papers.Your assignment will be graded according to
the BSBA Information Literacy Grading Rubric.(To see the rubric, go to Assessments>Rubrics.
Click the arrow next to the rubric name and choose Preview.)The following criteria will also be used to
assess your paper:1.
