Assessment Description
.
..
This assessment is your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply and review a current realworld strategic problem. This assessment explores the practice of “Doing”
At the same time, you will need to identify the practical implementation of recommendations and
reflect on what you have learned about strategy and leadership and your role as an effective
manager as a result of the week 6 guest speaker .
Your instructions are therefore as follows:
1. Attend one of the guest speakers in week 6.
2. Identify the strategic problem discussed in the guest speaker’s presentation
a. Conduct analysis of the problem and integrate at least 10 quality practical /academic
secondary sources into your review
3. Develop a set of strategic recommendations arising from the research.
4. Present your findings in an infographic or 1-page snapshot visual.
Some important considerations:
· You can be creative with how you structure your poster/infographic however it must include
written word as well as visuals and it must elaborate and present the speaker, the problem
and your analysis and recommendations. Examples will be shown in class and posted to
moodle
· Make sure your identification of the strategic problem and your recommendations are
supported by references, with each one annotated using the KBS Harvard method.
· You are free to choose any theory, concept or model from any subject in your MBA studies.
And ensure you reference them.
· Save your infographic as a PDF
