This document will outline the Professor’s expectations required for the successful completion of this
course. While you will receive a slightly different experience in each of your classes at Voorhees College,
based on my style of teaching, there are some general guidelines I would like to go over with you so that
you will have a consistent experience throughout this course.
Forum Topic Activities
• Etiquette (Netiquette) – I am committed to providing open, frank, yet civil dialogue in the forum
topic discussions. To achieve this, students should abide by the following guidelines:
o Never post, transmit or distribute content that is known to be illegal
o Avoid harassing, threatening, or embarrassing fellow learners
o Avoid language that is: harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, vulgar, or sexually
explicit.
o If you provide information/facts in your post that is from another source, I encourage you to
cite a source. While not necessary, this practice would make it easier for those reading your
post to locate the source for personal reference. PLEASE NOTE: APA format does not have
to be used for citing sources in a discussion post. Points will not be deducted if the citation
is not in APA format.
o The original discussion post for each specific topic should be a minimum of 250 words unless
a more significant number of words is specified in the actual forum discussion instruction. If
it is apparent there is no substantive evidence or content that contributes to the discussion,
regardless of word count, reduced points will be awarded. Original discussions posted after
midnight Thursday evening will receive reduced credit for the late posting. Original
discussions posted after midnight Sunday evening will receive zero credit.
o If the number of responses is not specified, a minimum of two, posted are required. Further,
a response post to a fellow student or the instructor should be a minimum of 150 words
unless more words are specified in the forum discussion instructions.
o If a student neglects to respond to a professor’s follow-up posted question(s) or query for
additional information to a student’s forum discussion post, there will be a reduction of
points in the participation category.
o For maximum credit on participation level for a forum discussion, the original post and at
least the prescribed number or more response posts must be posted during the week.
2 Expectations: BA 346 – Strategic Planning
Written Assignments and Case Studies
• All written assignments are to be typed, double-spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman font, in APA style.
APA style means there must be a cover page on the assignment. Also, the cover page must have the
following features: o A “Running head:” (label in the upper left-hand corner) followed by a running head
title (in the upper left-hand corner). Please see the example below:
o Running head: CASE STUDY 1
o A title for the assignment that is not more than 12 words.
o Student’s name
o Course Title & number (BA 346 A – Strategic Planning)
o Institutional affiliation (Department of Business & Entrepreneurship)
o Assignment Date
o Professor’s name (Katherine Whitaker, DBA)
Please note – the running head title without the running head label should appear on all subsequent
pages following the cover page in a submitted written assignment.
• Academic honesty is highly valued. Always submit work that represents your original words or ideas.
If any words or concepts used in a class posting or assignment submission do not represent your
original words or ideas, you must cite all relevant sources in APA format and make clear the extent
to which such sources were used.
• Most plagiarism issues are unintended. For example, a student forgets to put quotation marks
around a direct quote or paraphrases research without adding a reference citation. The
consequences of plagiarism, however, do not decipher unintended from deliberate practice. Please
have a working knowledge of how to reference others in your written work, including knowing the
differences between quoting, paraphrasing, and synthesizing.
• The APA Manual1 will be used by the professor to cite all format discrepancies that are noted in a
graded assignment. Twenty percent of your overall grade on a written assignment will be based on
APA format and reference list.
• One must provide a textual citation using the APA author-date system format and also provide a
reference listing at the end of a written assignment if you use the ideas or directly quote other
authors. That also includes the definition of words.
• Using just the web address to cite a source does not provide a reader with all the information
needed. Nevertheless, it is also not proper APA format. APA format is how you communicate in
writing to cohorts that are human service professionals.
The specific reference source that will be used for grading APA format is The APA Manual (2010).

Week One Discussion- Raymond L. Bellamy Jr.
Two aspects of strategic management that interest me is internal and competitive strategic planning. The key aspect of internal strategic planning is aligning all members of the management team with the vision and mission of the organization; both in the short and long term. This interest me because in my opinion the vision and the mission are key to managing strategically. When it comes to competitive stretch planning, once you have a good understanding of what your organization's mission, vision and values are, you may find your company running in a highly competitive environment. This interest me because it is my goal to have a highly competitive environment for my future business. All companies have competitors, but in some industries, the actions and decisions that your competitors make have a greater impact on how you run your organization. Competitive strategy requires you to focus part of your attention outside own organization to what's happening in the external marketplace and guiding your decision making based on your current and desired position within the market.
In my professional experience, plan is the most important of the Five P’s. Plan is defined as a carefully crafted set of steps that a firm intends to follow in order to be successful. Having a plan is the first phase of trying to be successful. The plan is a very important part of strategic planning and management. Strategic management is the management of an organization’s resources to achieve its goals and objectives. Strategic management involves setting objectives, analyzing the competitive environment, analyzing the internal organization, evaluating strategies, and ensuring that management rolls out the strategies

Week 1 Discussion- Jordan Blue
A strategic plan is a crafted set of steps that the firm intends to follow to be successful. One aspect of strategic planning that I found interesting is that they're important to individuals too. Being successful requires a person to lay out a path for the future and then follow that path. Don't be worried if your plan is not fully developed yet. Life has a lot of twists and turns, so maintaining flexibility is wise for individuals planning their career strategies as well as for firms. I find this of interest because it's good advice to know for the future. An aspect of strategic management I find interesting is that it's both an art and science. It involves multiple conceptualizations of the notion of strategy drawn from recent and ancient history. The ancient Chinese strategist Sub Tzu made it clear that strategic management part art, but also a part of science too. The Principles of Scientific Movement describes how organizations could become more efficient through finding out that "one best way" to complete a task. I haven't had any strategic management experiences myself, nor strategic planning experience. The most important "P" in my opinion is between Perspective and Pattern because perspective allows people to view the same things in different ways. For example, Jeff Bezo's viewed the internet as a sales channel and made amazon which is one of the biggest delivery retailers, in the world. Then you have pattern because of the ability to always respond to competitive challenges by innovating. Sometimes it's just about how you respond to the twists and turns of life.
