Business and Economics Assignment 1
You will practice the analysis and strategy formulation portion of the strategic management process for a non-profit or for-profit organization you create.
Your group will analyze organizational stakeholders, develop a mission and vision, and consider a strategic initiative for your organization to ensure their success. This will give you the opportunity to practice valuable strategic management skills, including research, critical thinking, and teamwork.
You must develop a strategic plan. Pretend your organization has been operating for a few years and you are ready to take it to the next level of success considering your competitors.
You must identify all of their stakeholders and developed plans to satisfy their needs and create value for them.
Identify stakeholders.
GLOBAL CHALLENGES IN LEADERSHIP
In the last several years, we have encountered multiple global challenges, such as the ones listed below:
- COVID-19 and how different government leaders responded, and how we are still dealing with the aftermath
- Increase in poverty due to the rise in unemployment
- Climate issues
- Gender equality
- Increase in humanitarian crises and conflicts
Different countries handled each situation differently. Some countries did a better job in certain areas, and some are still trying to recover. Select a global challenge that has or is currently occurring and select a country encountering the issue. Pressure has come from the government leaders to 1) address the issue(s) identified, 2) identify the impact on the people and economy, and 3) develop a proposal to implement a recommendation aimed at resolving the issues the country is facing along with a timeline that the country can expect to see a positive change.
Your group is expected to assess the global challenge and provide a sound rationale behind your group’s proposed recommendations. Introducing a new idea can be more successful when key people “buy” into the concept. SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable / Achievable, Relevant, Time-oriented) objectives must also be considered. Convincing others to support your idea requires persuasive communication skills. Persuading others that your solution will be successful requires that you have a unique concept and research its feasibility.
The government leadership team places the responsibility on your group to determine a recommendation for their consideration. They are not looking for a group that assumes that addressing the global challenge and the impact does not take much effort or that all effort only comes from the top. They are looking for a team to provide honest feedback and provide a reasonable and actionable plan that can positively impact their government. You must provide a rationale and research supporting why you chose the recommendation presented.
The proposal must be well researched using reliable and valid resources (e.g., peer-reviewed articles, useful websites, basic company information, etc.). Sections/pages will include:
- Home Page (cover slide)
- TOC with links to subsequent pages
- Executive Summary
- Business Overview

The financial value of your résumé is defined as the increased income that a well written résumé can provide. Without a properly crafted résumé, it will have taken you far longer to land a job. Most job candidates never understand the true value of a well written résumé. A good résumé is one that will generate far more interest from interviews than an average résumé ever would. Looking at your own résumé, consider key qualifications your future employer is seeking.
