Summarize and expand on Chapter #1 of the textbook (Art & Science of Strategic Management), and explain why you think strategic management is more an art than a science (or argue the opposite)? Use your own words and take a position. It is VERY IMPORTANT in the business world -- especially as an MBA -- that you demonstrate you are knowledgeable and that you actually HAVE A THOUGHT (i.e. that you have a position on the issue). So avoid regurgitating the chapter (and all other questions in this course related to summarizing chapters) and provide both a concise summary of the chapter, as well as your review/critique of the chapter (this means: provide some interesting insight). Summarize and expand on Chapter #2 of the textbook (Leading Strategically), and describe what YOU think about the role and responsibilities of the CEO. (I’m curious as to how you feel Emotional Intelligence plays into the art of being a CEO – is it important, and why or why not?) Summarize and expand on Chapter #3 of the textbook (External Analysis), and explain why you think Porter or PESTEL is important (think about it: Porter is an economist, so he looks at the world of business by examining industries; so do you think his five forces model makes sense, or serves as a fundamental platform for CEOs to use to analyze their firm’s strategic position)?
