Question description

In your SLP for this course you will be considered a strategic
management subject matter expert and will be asked to blog about
important aspects of the strategic management process and to provide
examples to support your key arguments based on current events pulled
from recent articles from reputable sources (such as a major national
news source like the NY Times, Business Week, etc.). 
Your main article(s) for each of your blog entries must be no older
than 4 months old.  If you use an older article as your primary focal
article, you will be asked to redo the assignment.  You may, of course,
use older sources to support your discussion but the current event
article serving as the main focus of your paper must be recent. 
For your first SLP discuss why the mission and vision are important
in helping to shape organizational strategy and find two recent articles
(no older than four months old) that provide examples of organizations
that seem to be living up to (or failing at) fulfilling their mission
and vision. 
Remember that you are playing the role of a person blogging about
strategic management and the key here is to convey to the public the
importance of the mission and vision statement in a strategic management
context and to provide examples of organizations who do well (or
poorly) in fulfilling their stated missions and visions.  Also remember
to keep your discussion focused on strategic management.Your SLP assignment should be a minimum of 3 pages in length. 
You are required to use APA formatting and you are required to cite
and reference your sources.  There should be a minimum of three
reputable sources cited and referenced in your paper. 
Please make sure you review the assignment rubric prior to writing your assignment.
