Module 4 – CaseStrategy Implementation &
EvaluationCase Assignment
Please note that this assignment is unique in
that your written communication skills will be assessed. This assignment
also includes a specialized rubric focused specifically on written
communication.
After reviewing the book section, presentation
materials, and additional readings you will be asked to compose an
argumentative essay where you will argue for or against the thesis identified
below regarding the implementation process of a strategic management
plan. Here is the thesis statement you are expected to support or refute
using well-reasoned arguments:
The successful implementation of the strategic
management plan in a large corporation like Dish is highly reliant on
measurement and evaluation efforts during and after the implementation phase.
In responding to this assignment you should
continue your review of the information available on Dish. Identifying
strategies over the past couple of years that did not work out so well versus
strategies that succeeded might be helpful in supporting key arguments.
Some questions to ask yourself in formulating your arguments might include:
What barriers might have gotten in the way of any less successful
strategies? And what type of strategic evaluation efforts do you
think are necessary to keep an eye on progress in a large company like
Dish? How does measurement of implementation processes help assure
success? How does the evaluation process help to assure future success?
In this assignment, make sure you clearly
identify the position you are taking with respect to the thesis. Your
essay should include an introduction, and well developed arguments in support
of your position. You should wrap up your essay with a conclusion.
Assignment Expectations
Your case assignment should be a minimum of 5
pages in length.
You are required to use APA formatting and you
are required to cite and reference your sources. There should be a
minimum of three reputable sources cited and referenced in your paper but more
is preferred.
Please make sure you review the assignment
rubric prior to writing your assignment. Keep in mind that this
rubric is a different rubric from what you are used to as it focuses on the
assessment of your writing skills.
