Work #1: 

Actual work where 2 students given their posts on this:

Consider a company you have worked for or one that you know well. What are the strategically relevant factors for the industry and your company within this macro-environment? What strategic moves are rivals likely to make and why? What factors are driving changes in this industry and why? Keeping in mind the role that interpreting environmental factors will play in analyzing a case, what do you see as the most important external data you would want this organization to have in any strategic planning process, and why?  How does this discussion board relate to our coursework this week?  Be specific. 

NOTE: Make sure you choose a company that has not been selected by one of your classmates. 

Your initial response to the discussion question should be 250-300 words. You must have at least our course text and one non-course scholarly/peer reviewed source in your initial posting.  Sources require in-text citations and must be incorporated into the body of the post in addition to a full APA citation at the end of the post.

Please respond to at least two peers on different days of the week from each other and from your initial post, in approximately 150-200 words. Within your response postings, comment regarding a component of the macro-environment that you also believe impacts the particular industry of your classmate’s selected company posting.  Incorporate a minimum of one scholarly source with each of your response postings.  It may be our text or an outside scholarly source to support your initial post.
