Strategy, Innovation, Planning, and Ethics
Doing research on a case study organization. A new organization, for-profit organization. Moreover, let me go back, that case study organization, as a reminder, it needs to be a new company that you have not yet dealt with in the course for the assignment. (Appliances, Computers, Services - USA Industries A PLUS).
Your Assignment MUST Include:
Literally, what did the organization do to create or develop and seize this opportunity? What did they do to make it successful? Then you'll be needing to respond to, well what kind of innovation strategy did they use? Was it Blue Ocean? If it was Blue Ocean in your opinion, then please share how you arrived at that conclusion. What was the evidence presented? What are the factors that led to the organization's continuing success of failure? How was the application of strategic management and planning played out in that model? Did they use any such techniques? How has it impacted their growth? And then talk about the strategic manage site, what about ethics in terms of execution and sustainability? Have they gotten themselves into trouble because of poor displays of ethical decision making? Now, just a couple more things to add and then I'll get you started. Remember, you have to use a minimum of five references in this paper in addition to the assigned readings. So please, I do want you to use the assigned readings, and list all the assigned readings in your reference list, do use them. Then you need five more. Where do they usually come from? Typically they're going to come all surrounding around your company. I highly recommend if you don't have at least three references for your company, you have no chance of getting an A on this paper. No chance. APA formatting, define theory, remember less than 8 percent is your target and you submit it. Now what I provide here is the last page and this quick update is this is a look at a sample how you would format your paper. These, to me, would be a sample outline for formatting. You would always have an introduction section. The next section would be a great time to do an overview and comparison of theories. You'll notice my first two lines on this page are level 1 headings, in that they're more important headings, and then level 2 headings or a subheading, under the theories, these are three theories I know you should be covering. Innovations, strategic management, and corporate ethics. Then another level 1 heading would lead to the application to your case study. Finally, you would have a conclusion section at level 1 and references at level 1.

- Determine which innovation strategy theory best fits this case study organization: ? Explain what this organization did to create or develop and seize this opportunity.
- Define which innovation theory fits this opportunity (make sure the theory criteria are defined).
- Explain how you reached your conclusion. What evidence did you use to make this determination?
- Analyze the implications of the organization's innovation strategy on growth. ? Has the organization been able to sustain success?
