homework

1. What do you think strategic management is all about? What distinguishes strategic management from other forms of management (e.g., operations, HR, financial management). In brief, tell me what are the key characteristics that make management strategic in nature (In this question I am not asking, how strategic management is done)?

2. Select an existing company (e.g., Apple, Amazon, Spotify, or other) and articulate its vision, mission, goal/objectives, and business model (please do not use examples provided in the instructor's slides).

3. Based on the strategic management process framework (see instructor slides), give me a walk-through of the strategic management process steps.
