Unit 4 Discussion Board
Assignment Details
Assignment Description
The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructo
to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the openended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by
esponding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of
the contribution to the discussion.
At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least
two other posts, either the instructor's response to one of your posts, or posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Friday of
each week. Two additional responses are required, each on different days, after Friday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board
early and often at a minimum of three (3) different days each week, as this promotes learning and is an important factor in grading for the Discussion Board assignment.
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is
not possible to engage in twoway dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
Assignment Details

1. A common tool used in strategic planning is the S.W.O.T. analysis. Pick a company you are familiar with and complete a SWOT analysis for it describing 5 each of

2. How can a SWOT analysis help a company develop a strategic plan that will be successful?
3. Describe the four functions of management. What role do these play in the strategic decision making process?
