Management

As we learn in chapter 6, strategy is a plan for what the organization will do next – how they will compete, how they will be different from competitors, and how they will succeed.  In this assignment, you’ll examine the strategy for a company you choose, and learn to identify the various types of strategies.

Instructions:

Locate an article about strategy, preferably using one of the websites below.  Keep in mind that strategy is a broad concept; keyword searches may not produce good results. Instead, look at items like the current results of a firm, or a decision that a company makes.  For example, Campbell Soup Company purchased Garden Fresh in an attempt to diversify: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2015/06/09/campbell-soup-buys-salsa-maker-garden-fresh-gourmet/28728059/ (Links to an external site.)

Include a link to your article, and be sure it’s from a qualified business media source.

Respond to the following:

  1. Provide a brief summary of the article, and how it is an example of strategy.  (Brief = a paragraph of 5-7 sentences)
  2. Analyze the business environment for the industry where the company is located.  What trends/changes are occurring in the marketplace?
  3. Identify and describe the current corporate-level or business-level strategy.
  4. Going forward, what do you recommend this company do to become more competitive? (Hint, take a look at the Porter’s Competitive strategies from Chapter 6 as a start)

Responses copied from an internet source, out of the text, or from homework sites earn no credit, as they are a violation of College Academic Integrity Policy.

Your Activities and the Hierarchy of Needs

In a Word document, try to identify and record some things that you do which are intended to satisfy needs at each of the levels of Maslow’s need  hierarchy (presented below). To get full credit you must thoroughly describe what you do at each level and why you think that activity satisfies that particular need.  Be sure to use real life examples that are different from those presented in the text.

• Physiological needs
• Safety needs
• Belongingness and love needs
• Esteem needs
• Cognitive needs
• Aesthetic needs
• Need for self-actualization

After describing the activities that you engage in at each level, write a paragraph discussing the level that you feel takes up most of your time and energy at the present time.  In other words, at what level do you find yourself functioning most of the time?  Explain what you do at that level and why it is keeping you occupied at present.
