Discussion: Strategy Long-Term Orientation

Question Description
MUST USE WORKSHEET ATTACHED

Overview: In this milestone, you will submit the Strategy and Key Performance Indicators for your chosen case study. Use the worksheet provided to complete the strategy and key performance indicators. Make sure your chosen strategy is in line with the company’s mission and values. Your KPIs should fit the chosen strategy and provide objective measures.

Specifically, the following critical elements from the final project must be addressed:

IV. Strategy: What does the company need to do to change direction?

A. Devise an informed basic strategy to move the organization in a new direction based on the environmental analysis.

B. Identify the key players in implementing the strategy (marketing, operations, accounting, sales, HR, etc.) and describe how it affects them.

C. Develop a basic (high-level) plan to improve organizational performance.

1. Define goals for profitability based on specifics from analyses.

2. Explain in detail how the goals are in alignment with the company mission/vision and values.

D. Describe in detail how this plan affects the organization’s departments (marketing, operations, HR functions, etc.).

V. Key Performance Indicators: What does success look like?

A. Determine the specific KPIs you will use to effectively measure the success of the strategy and explain how/why these KPIs align with the identified strategy and with the organization’s mission, vision, and values.

B. Identify at least one KPI for each profitability goal identified previously.

Guidelines for Submission: This milestone must be submitted using the worksheet provided and must be written in APA format. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. All references must be cited in APA formatformat

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
