Course Reflection Assignment Sheet
Overview:
In this Strategic Management course, there are several key concepts related to management strategy and decision making. In the textbook discussed the importance of mission and vision, SMART goals, key performance indicators as well as several strategy tools such as SWOT, Poter’s five forces, PESTEL analysis, resource theory, generic business strategy, and competing in international markets and discussed supply chain and value chain management as well as corporate level strategies for market integration. Along with these concepts and strategies, you should compete the simulations(https://goventureceo.com.) for hands on experience in making strategic management decisions, the last of which was a team simulation in which you had to make cooperative decisions.
Assignment:
These final 4 pages reflection assignment complements the reflection. Think back to the textbook and what you learn from and your own personal learning. What concepts and strategies have been particularly helpful for you in understanding how to manage strategically? Also, what knowledge and skills did you gain from experiences with the simulation(https://goventureceo.com.) ? Overall, what did you learn about strategic management and how do you think you will apply it in your future career of choice? Be sure to use concrete examples of theories, strategies, and experiences in the class.
Structure:
Your choice of what to cover and the structure of the essay is open and depends on the experiences and concepts you wish to highlight. That said, be sure to organize your essay in cohesive paragraphs and bring in specific examples. If wish, you can highlight outside sources, but if you do, be sure to use APA style.
