Summary - Strategic Planning: Panacea or Pariah?
This module is about management planning. Planning is an important function in any organization.
Very recently, eBay’s CEO announced that in spite of the corporate philosophy that eBay’s auction services and PayPal were complimentary businesses that belonged under the same corporate umbrella they would, in 2015, each be managed as separate firms, each with its own CEO. This announcement was made shortly after Apple announced its Apple Pay. Apple Pay is not leveraging any new technologies. It’s simply Apple getting into the banking business, in a manner of speaking. In this assignment, please consider Apple Pay, PayPal and Bitcoin as potential methods for “paying for stuff” online. Do some internet research to inform yourself of these three methods. Summarize your sources (briefly!), make as many connections as you can to the assigned Module chapters. Based on this research, identify three criteria that you can use to assess each of the three in relation to each other (e.g., reputation, etc.). Describe your findings. Then discuss the implications of this article for managing work. Bracket these sections with thoughtful introductory and concluding comments.
