The requirement of this element is for you to identify and analyse specific sources of information that support your knowledge of the concepts we explore.

Can you identify reliable appropriate research, using a wide range of resources, article(s) that support knowledge and understanding of each specific concept:

1.Strategy and the Macro-environment

2. Resources and capabilities for strategic growth.

3.Industry and competitor analysis.

4.Strategy development - prescriptive, intended and emergent strategy.

5. Managing stakeholders and value chain analysis.

6. Organizations structures systems and culture.

I am required to submit a synopsis of the article, detailing its content and summarising the key learning points I have taken from it. There must be a clear link between each week's strategic management concept and the articles you present in your portfolio. The introduction would include what is strategy and its importance which would talk about the purpose in terms of the vision and mission.
