Overview of strategic management: The NetMBA site (see assignments) presents the strategic planning process schematically as follows: Mission -- Objectives -- Situation -- Analysis -- Strategy Formulation -- Implementation.
Can this process explain the path by which an organization identifies and expresses its mission? If so, why?
Discuss the drawbacks of this process, including any drawbacks you identify that are not mentioned in the NetMBA summary.
Where do middle managers fit into this process? (See the Wikipedia and textbook readings and add, as appropriate, comments from your own experience.)
Analyze/discuss your perception thoroughly applying the minimum of 3 sources of support and the minimum of 3 intext citations that adhere to APA. Follow the rubric for discussion posts and the sample discussion provided.
