Please see attached Part 1 which contains I – V. Also see examples and templates for exhibits in addition to a template for the paper.
Level of detailed discussion and
analysis: Your prose needs to be in sufficient detail to demonstrate your
business knowledge, critical thinking, and critical analysis abilities.
One-line statements do not show nor demonstrate satisfactory business knowledge.
Bullets do not show nor demonstrate satisfactory business knowledge.
Your writing needs to expand on
each point in a paragraph where you discuss and analyze the important elements
of that particular SA item. See Lecture Reading 4.6 in Module 4/Voluntary
Readings for some examples of demonstrated critical thinking, critical
analysis, good discussion/analysis for your paragraphs. Make your paragraphs
good complete detailed discussion and analysis…. Not one-liners. Do not copy
from the textbook.
Formatting and Admin of the SA:
Single space your SA with the appropriate line spacing between parts, sections,
and paragraphs. Extra line spacing is a serious detractor. Follow the
alphanumeric paragraph structure as in the text’s SA and as shown in the SA
Paragraphing Structure Template and the Expanded Paragraph View for sections
VI, VII, and VIII document. Do not use bullets. Use font size 10-12. Use
Portrait page mode for your SA text – do not use Landscape page mode for your
SA text. Use single space of 1.0 – do not use 1.15, nor 1.5.
Use the SA Writing Template (see
attachment)
For Section V(TOWS): Analysis
of Strategic Factors:
In your Situational Analysis,
discuss how the 10 most important Strategic Factors shown in the SFAS could be
grouped in the TOWS matrix. Divide them up into paragraphs on Strengths and
Opportunities, Strengths and Threats, Weaknesses and Opportunities, and
Weaknesses and Threats. Be sure to continue using the same SF tags from the
SFAS (S2, W4, T3, 02, etc etc)
In your Review of Mission and
Objectives, the question here is – are the current mission and objectives good
to go or not? And if they need to be changed, what do you recommend they be
changed to? See page 38, Appendix 1.A for good analysis questions.
For VI: Strategic Alternatives
and Recommended Strategy:
Pay close attention to the
content for this section in the SA-WritingTemplate-BUS485B document in Course
Resources. It does not follow Appendix 1.A.
In VI.A, there are 3
Strategic Alternatives mutually exclusive: No change alternative, growth
alternative and retrenchment alternative.
For each of the three strategic
alternatives, you must provide
1. a
corporate strategy direction (stability, growth, and retrenchment),
2. appropriate
supporting business strategy (competitive or cooperative),
3. and
need to identify 3 to 4 supporting functional level strategies (marketing,
finance, R&D, operations, purchasing, logistics, HR, IT, etc)
4. describe
corporate scenario
5. discuss
the Pros and Cons
Discuss in good complete detail
each of the 3 levels of strategy in each alternative.Talk about what the
Corporate level strategy is about. Talk about what the supporting
Business-level strategy is about. Talk about what each supporting functional
level strategy is about.
Demonstrate the linkages between
each of the 3 levels in each alternative’s hierarchy of strategy as you discuss
and describe each level of strategy.
Then, discuss in good complete
detail each of the 3 strategic alternative corporate scenarios with good
reasonable estimations of future performance expressed in $$$.
Then discuss in good complete
detail the Pros and Cons for each of the 3 strategic alternatives.
If you follow the suggested
organization in the writing template, then you’ll be sure to do good complete
work to construct, analyze, and discuss in detail your 3 strategic alternatives
under consideration. Remember, you need to have the hierarchy of strategy, the
corporate scenario, and the pros/cons for each of your 3 Strategic
Alternatives.
In VI.B discuss in detail
your decision-making process:
First, state your one selected
alternative.
Then second, provide a good
complete discussion of the decision criteria you used to analyze your 3
alternatives and base your decision on.
Then third, discuss and analyze
your 3 alternatives in terms of your decision criteria to show your rationale
and justification for your selection. A good complete compare and contrast
analysis would be very useful. Be sure to support your decision using your
calculations from your 3 pro forma common-size income statements included in
your 5-Y Financials for your 3 alternatives.
For VII, Implementation, and
VIII, Evaluation and Control:
Organize your discussion and
analysis around your ONE recommended Strategic Alternative that you have chosen
to implement.
The verbiage in VII and VIII
describes the data elements in your Exhibit 6, Implementation, Evaluation and
Control Plan. Your Exhibit 6 content that supports VII and VIll should contain
the same details about your one recommended Corporate Strategy, supporting
Business Strategy, and 3 to 4 supporting Functional Strategies.

Title: The Interplay of Culture, Change, and Decision-Making in Organizations: A Biblical Perspective
the post must be 1100 words.
Chapter 10: Do you think it is possible for an outsider to accurately discern about the underlying cultural values of an organization by analyzing symbols, ceremonies, dress, or other observable aspects of culture in comparison to an insider with several years of work experience? Select a percentage (e.g., 10%, 70%, etc.) and explain your reasoning.
Chapter 11: A noted organization theorist once said, “Pressure for change originates in the environment. Pressure for stability originates within the organization.” Do you agree?
Chapter 12: If managers frequently use experience and intuition to make complex, non-programmed decisions, how do they apply evidence-based management (which seems to suggest that managers should rely on facts and data)?
Chapter 13: In a rapidly changing organization, are decisions more likely to be made using the rational or political model of organization?
What biblical implications should be included/addressed?
How can/should a biblical worldview be applied? -
“Ethical Concerns in the Medical and Pharmaceutical Industries: A Case Study Analysis of Recent Events”
I need help finding an article published in the last 90 days that deals with an ethical concern. I prefer something to do with medical pr pharmaceutical industries and issues with that. Here is a more detailed explanation:
Identify an article or news story that has been published within 90 days. Choose an article that highlights a significant business ethics concern or breach. The article should provide sufficient information for analysis, including the context, ethical implications, and leadership response. You can utilize professional journals, professional association sites, newspapers, web searches, IWU OCLS, and other library research to locate your article. Use the article to answer the following questions:
Provide a brief overview of the chosen article, summarizing the key events and ethical concerns.
Identify and describe the types of ethical and legal challenges discussed in the article or news story.
Evaluate the leadership response to the ethical challenges and effectiveness of the leadership’s communication, decision-making, and actions in addressing the issue and mitigating its impact.
Was the ethical challenge brought to light by a whistleblower? If so, was whistleblowing the appropriate ethical action? Explain your reasoning.
Propose recommendations for ethical crisis management that would have enhanced the leadership’s response and prevented or minimized the impact of the breach. What shadows cast in the ethical issue(s) covered in the article could be avoided by your recommendations? -
Unlocking Potential: My Journey to an MBA in Pursuit of Business Excellence
Need a Personal Statement for my MBA application. I’m planning to apply to schools like Warwick & ESCP.
Note: the essay should be 100% unique and not AI generated. Please keep a friendly tone, use simple words, and avoid making it impersonal. Very important, the structure of the essay should be proper. My CV is attached to give you an overview of my profile.
My experience would be the strongest and most unique value that I would bring to the table. I have been involved in the business world from a very young age. I have seen the ups and downs and worked with people from around the world with vastly different experience levels. I have led teams and initiatives that has seen a couple of market leading brands move over to us from competitors, and introduced several international brands for the first time to not just UAE but the GCC. I have hired candidates across seniority levels, working by myself, working with headhunters, through mass walk-ins and simple job posts. I have directly managed layoffs due to non-performance and due to market situation. I have successfully navigated the business through the challenge posed by Covid. I understand that, its not about right or wrong. Its about understanding what’s at stake. It’s about making timely decisions, its about following through on promises and facing up to challenges. I see myself as a jack of all trades I have been in leadership roles, facing the market from a very early age, and I have learned that it’s not about being the smartest person in the room but it’s about how we utilize the resources and knowledge around us to achieve our goals. I’m a sucker for discipline and process and believe business longevity is built on strong foundations. I now intend to return to my studies and ensure I upskill myself and strengthen my roots. So that I can return to my businesses and help unlock their fullest potential. I aspire to expand and consolidate my position in the food and hospitality sector over the next 10 years, having developed at least 3 in-house brands with a strong international presence and pursuing vertical integration. I aim to be a leading figure in the consumer space, working in the food and hospitality sector. Through the MBA, I aim to work closely with bright minds from my age group and learn from domain experts working on cutting-edge technology and solutions that help transform the world today. -
