 Wk1: Article Review

  Each week students should review one article related to business strategy.  The article can cover business strategy in fields like Finance, IT, HR, Accounting, etc.  

Articles can be found in Business Source Complete or ProQuest Central.
The article text itself must be 1) at least 1,000 words (excluding title, bios, and any other related material), 2) peer-reviewed, and 3) published within the last five years. If you have any questions about using a particular article, please reach out to your professor. Article Review Instructions:  In 500-800 words (including title and references) review the article as follows:

• First half – review of article contents, concepts, insights, and how it relates to business strategy
• Second half – application to your world (Use a heading called "Application")
• Use at least one QCR (quotation, citation, reference) from the article itself
• Use at least one QCR from another source (can be a peer-review article or something from HBR, Fortune, Economist, or Wall Street Journal).
• Therefore, your references at the end of your article should have at least two entries.
• Title your review LastName_FirstInitialWk1AR

 NOTE: The biggest problem students have with this assignment is their application is too short. I suggest that you:

• Use a centered heading named "Application to my World" in the middle of your paper.
• Look at your total word count for your entire paper and then make sure that your application section is at least half of this.
• Speak directly as to how this material applies to your work.

Wk1: Strategic Reflection

Students will write a strategic reflection (1,000 to 1,500-word paper) on themselves addressing the following: Creating Value

• How do you create value to others in your personal relationships?

• Describe 2 stakeholders and your value proposition to them in these three categories (a total of six):
  • Foundational (faith, family, friends)
  • Primary (employer, client, etc.)
  • Secondary (co-workers, vendors, etc.)

Strategic Altitude Mix

• In your current role, what is your strategic altitude mix?
• In five years, what would you like your strategic altitude mix to be?

The paper should include 3-5 quotations/paraphrases, citations, and references from these three sources:
