Final Week 12 Team Project (20%)

Prepare and present a report and contribute to a discussion that demonstrates mastery of the course material and its relevance to your academic specialization.

1. Members will prepare and share with their team a brief (maximum 500 - 750 word) report that examines whether, how, and why strategic management is/could/should be relevant and important for the specialization they have pursued in this degree program.
2. The team will then analyze the member reports, searching for patterns (similarities and differences between and across specializations) and evaluating their broader implications for successful implementation of strategy and strategic decision making. Faculty will follow and contribute to this team analysis and discussion.
3. Teams will prepare a brief (maximum 1,000word) final synopsis of findings and conclusions and post it as a new thread in the team's study group byWednesdayof the last week of class(Week 12). Teams will also share a copy of the final synopsis in an all-class discussion area so everyone can benefit from the small group findings and analysis.

All members are expected to demonstrate effective team skills and must contribute actively, substantively, and in a timely manner to all components of this assignment.

The team will work collaboratively to set deadlines for items 1 and 2. These deadlines will be enumerated in the Team Agreement submitted in Week 6. The only hard (i.e., faculty-imposed) deadlines are to post the final synopsis by midnight on Wednesday of Week 12 and submit the confidential team assessment bythe end of the week.
