In this week's reading and learning activities you learned about:
• The increasingly competitive global economy
• Why organizations need to be agile to succeed
• The Marketplace simulation by viewing the Marketplace orientation
• The role of teams in organizational success
• Your own skills and motivations to succeed
For this first Discussion you will use all of these resources and others that you discover to discuss the following:
1. The most significant challenge to business success you see in this rapidly changing global economy. Your thoughts and hypothesis on these challenges should be supported by at least two scholarly sources in addition to the readings for this week, to achieve a high degree of credibility.
2. An organization that has been successful in the global marketplace using virtual teams and the best practices it used (as discussed in Chapter 7 of Business Agility: A Sustainable Prosperity in a Relentlessly Competitive World);
3. How the Marketplace simulation incorporates these challenges into simulation game play;
4. How your readings and individual self-assessment work provide potential solutions to these challenges.
