Assignment Background
“In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
-Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States (1901-1909)

If President Roosevelt wasn’t so busy being President he might have written an excellent book on strategic management!

All organisations need to adopt proactive strategic management. To ‘stand still’ is not an option (if you want to remain in existence)!

This doesn’t mean that organisations always get it right but it’s important that they do it.

In the unit we cover a wide range of Strategic Management issues including numerous case studies in varying depth.

There is obviously not enough time to cover everything in depth.

This assignment enables students to examine in more detail Strategic Management in companies / organisations that are of particular interest to them.

It can also be started from ‘Day 1’ of the semester and will enable students to explore the wonderful world of strategic management by doing their own research on how it is practiced in an organisation that is of interest to them.
Your Mission
You are to select an organisation and prepare an assignment on how Strategic Management was/is practiced in that organisation.

You can look at a bad example or a good one or even a bad example that became good.

In doing so you should use the concepts you have learnt from this subject and your own research.

?Single spacing and no ‘widows and orphans’ (paragraphs that go over a page)
8.The assignment is due at the start of the week 6 lecture, otherwise it will be considered late (this attracts a 10% per day penalty or part thereof).
