1) Identify and discuss an example of corporate governance that is either negative or positive.

2) Many companies integrate and align their mission, vision, and values throughout their business practices and how they conduct themselves in the execution of their strategy. Others, not so much. Identify a company that you either admire and respect, or one that does not meet the test of scrutiny, and discuss the strengths and/or weaknesses of their mission statement, vision statement, or espoused values.

3) As stated by Gamble, Peteraf, and Thompson, Jr. (2019) "The managerial purpose of setting objectives is to convert the strategic vision into specific performance targets. Objectives reflect management's aspirations for company performance in light of the industry's prevailing economic and competitive conditions and the company's internal capabilities. Well stated objectives are quantifiable, or measurable, and contain a deadline for achievement." Think about your approach to analyzing and studying business performance--what specific types of financial and strategic objectives do you feel will be important to focus on in your research? As a point of note: stock price and stock performance are insufficient in-and-of-themselves as measures of performance.
