Overview:
When we examine a topic of diversity through different lenses, it may alter the way we look at the topic. The four general education interdisciplinary lenses are history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social science.
History is the study of the past and its connection to the present. It encompasses content, memories, and events situated in time.
Humanities is the study of cultures’ creative expression and contemplates metaphor, experience, and meaning.
Natural and applied sciences study the material world grounded in the scientific method.
Social sciences study human relationships and social structures grounded in demographic and statistic measurements.
When we look at an event in our lives, we often jump between different frameworks to make sense of it. For instance, if we attend a music concert we might move from an artistic lens (How did they create the musical score?) to a technical lens (How does all the lighting work?) to a financial lens (How much money do the performers earn?). Similarly, looking through the general education interdisciplinary lenses can help us see things from other perspectives by giving us a conscious way to analyze them, helping to broaden our perspective.
For the project in this course, you will examine a topic in diversity through one of the four general education interdisciplinary lenses. This assignment prepares you to choose that topic and lens by applying all four lenses.
Directions
For this activity, you will write a short paper on a diversity topic of your choice. Choose a topic in diversity that you are interested in. It could be a topic you have personally experienced or a topic that you are interested in knowing more about. Apply each lens to your topic by using its language and perspectives.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Describe your existing knowledge about your topic in diversity.
You might describe your personal experience with the topic, what you learned in school, or what your assumptions are about the topic. Ask, what do I know (or think I know)?
Apply the history lens to your topic.
Using the language of history as it is defined in your resources, and as it is used in history-focused journals, how would you write about your topic? Consider the following questions when applying the history lens to your topic. What events and dates have occurred that are important to your topic? Has the significance of the topic diminished or shifted with time? Who are the authors of the historical record(s) related to your topic?
Apply the humanities lens to your topic.
Using the language of the humanities as it is defined in your resources, and as it is used in humanities-focused journals, how would you write about your topic? Consider the following questions when applying the humanities lens to your topic. What meaning does your topic have within cultures? How do people express themselves with regards to your topic? What are people’s lived experiences with your topic?
Apply the natural and applied sciences lens to your topic.
Using the language of the natural and applied sciences as it is defined in your resources, and as it is used in natural and applied sciences–focused journals, how would you write about your topic? Consider the following questions when applying the natural and applied sciences lens to your topic. How might the scientific method be used to examine some aspect of your topic? How might your topic relate to the physical or material world? Are there any challenges to viewing your topic objectively?
Apply the social science lens to your topic.
Using the language of the social sciences as it is defined in your resources, and as it is used in social science–focused journals, how would you write about your topic? Consider the following questions when applying the social science lens to your topic. Who is affected by your topic? How might your topic affect interpersonal relationships? What social structures and systems relate to your topic?

“Strategic Analysis and Planning for Long-Term Success: Utilizing the AFI Framework to Assess Internal and External Environments” “Strategic Management and Planning for Sustainable Competitive Advantage: A Comprehensive Analysis of the AFI Framework and the Role of Leadership”
Introduction
For this portfolio work project, you will analyze the internal and external factors that shape and influence an organization’s strategy. Your work on this assignment will demonstrate your understanding of industry forces and how an organization can leverage its strengths to its advantage. This portfolio work project asks you to analyze the strategic process using the AFI framework. This analysis will clearly demonstrate your ability to think critically and strategically, and to use evidence to support your thinking.
Scenario
The vice president of strategy has asked you to prepare an objective analysis of the internal and external environments of the organization. She is hoping that your insight can be used to plan for the future direction of the company.
Your Role
You are a strategic analyst for the company you have selected to use in this course. The company has recently started the strategic planning process and needs to analyze the current internal and external environments.
Requirements
To complete this assignment, be sure you understand the AFI framework as presented in your text. Conduct your own research to find recent articles on the value of strategic planning and the role of leadership in the strategic planning process. (Note that the Strategic Management Process Map on pages 30 and 31 of the course text will be very helpful in completing this assignment.)
For this assignment, you will need to complete a VRIO or Value Chain analysis, a PESTLE analysis based on research of the organization (not conjecture or opinion), and a Five Forces model (pay attention to the relationships of elements from both PESTLE and Five Forces). Your prior discussion work should help here. These must be included as appendices in the document you submit. You should also research the industry your company is in, as well as the company’s website for information and supporting evidence. Once you have this research completed, prepare an executive briefing report that will be distributed to senior executive leadership. In your report, address the following:
Analyze the key components of the AFI strategic planning framework. Assess the value of using a strategic planning framework for long-term success and sustained competitive advantage.
Analyze the internal environment of the organization.
What are the key findings from your VRIO or Value Chain analysis?
How well does the organization leverage its strengths to execute the business strategy?
How effective is the organizational structure and management system design?
Analyze the external environment of the organization.
What are the key findings from your PESTLE analysis?
What are the key findings from your Five Forces analysis?
How can the organization respond to these forces to better position itself?
Explain the role of leadership in the strategic planning process. Be sure to address the ethical responsibilities of leaders in the strategic planning process.
Recommend a course of action for leadership based on your analysis.
Deliverable Format
The strategic process and analysis is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines, found under Writing in the MBA Program Resources, which you can find in the Tools and Resources for this course. Pay attention to the sections on APA formatting and citing references.
In addition to the analysis, include:
Title page.
Table of contents.
Executive summary.
References page with APA formatted references from at least five sources.
Appendices: VRIO or Value Chain analysis, PESTLE analysis, and Five Forces analysis.
Target length of 5–7 content pages in addition to title, references pages, and appendices including your VRIO/Value Chain, PESTLE, and Five Forces analyses.
Written for an audience of executive leaders.
