Str/581: Wk 1 - Values And Strategy Paper

Choose an organization according to the following:

• Current employer
• Most recent or former employer
• Organization in an industry in which you are familiar. 
• Avoid choosing an organization that is so large that historical data would be difficult to apply. Firms in the Russell 2000^® index may fit well, whereas firms in the Dow 30 Industrial index probably do not. 
• PLEASE NOTE: YOU WILL USE THIS SAME ORGANIZATION FOR ALL ASSIGNMENTS DUE EACH WEEK. ALL ASSIGNMENTS BUILD ON EACH OTHER AND WILL BE SUBMITTED TOGETHER IN THE FINAL STRATEGIC PLAN DUE IN WEEK 6.

Write a 1,050-word paper in which you address the following: 

• Identify the major components of the strategic management process.
• Discuss how these components work together to create value for the organization.
• Evaluate the company's mission statement, vision statement, motivation strategy, innovation strategy, and people strategy. If the organization does not have one or more of these, how does that affect the organization and its people?
• Explain the role of ethics and corporate social responsibility in strategic planning. How does this direct their strategy? How does the organization's vision and mission align with your own values and vision? If you are currently working for the organization, how does your role influence this and vice versa?  

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.
