INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANSWERING EACH QUESTION:
1.Narrative Format: Continue to perfect your narrative format in the case summary. Remember, you are only supposed to use the narrative format in answering the first question, i.e., the Case Summary question.
2.Case Analysis Question #1: Make sure you answer all the parts of this question fully. In the first part, discuss what Anita should include in the agenda for the retreat. In the second part, please make sure you propose a new, reformulated mission. Dont just say you will leave the mission as it is. In the third part, please ensure that you address all three levels of strategy. State clearly why (or why not) a change is needed at any of the levels. Hint: Mission is only mentioned briefly in this weeks reading. You may want to read section 4-1 in the textbook for a fuller understanding of mission. Section 4-1 is in Chapter 4 which is assigned for Unit 3.
3.Case Analysis Question #2: The first question requires you to discuss how organizations predict the short and long-term future. With advanced critical thinking skills, you can use the material in Chapter 2 and some extra research to craft a good response. I will, however, suggest a different approach. May I suggest that you read section 3-5 in the textbook, which is just one page of the assigned reading for Unit 3. This will provide you a shortcut that eliminates some of the extra research. Similarly, in the second part of the question, look at section 3-2b in the textbook, and add a little research of your own.
4.Application The application question is very straightforward. Remember to answer all parts of the question fully. In the second part of the question, remember that low cost is not the same thing as low price.
