Discussion Post: Jack Ma-Alibaba founder
Choose a well-known and analyzed leader in business. This will be someone who has a substantial record of being analyzed through published material that can be located in the DeVry library or elsewhere. Examples are Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Sam Walton, Jeff Bezos, Carly Fiorina, Howard Schultz, Larry Page, Indra Nooyi, Rupert Murdoch, Meg Whitman, Henry Ford, and Herb Kelleher. Throughout this course, this leader will be the subject of your weekly discussions, so chose a leader in an industry in which you currently or plan to work.
To begin this discussion, imagine your job is to introduce your leader at a large, professional, industry-specific convention. Your chosen leader is the keynote speaker, and you're responsible for outlining his or her career highlights, education, career trajectory, and future goals for the audience.
The response must include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
