The assigned reading for week 3 is Chapter 3 - Assessing the Internal Environment of the Firm, of the book Strategic Management: Creating Competitive Advantages. Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then, post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter. Your initial post should be based on the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion. Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions: In Learning from Mistakes at the beginning of the chapter, we saw how Quibi shut down operations after 6 months. Imagine you were advising Quibi from the start on how they needed to emphasize the customer orientation of every link in their value chain. To support this, lay out the key links in Quibi’s value chain and evaluate how each step is critical to creating customer value. Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. Postings must be in the student's own words - do not provide quotes!] [Your initial post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double-spaced). Post the actual body of your paper in the discussion thread, then attach a Word version of the paper for APA review] Your initial posts and peer responses will be evaluated on the basis of the critical thinking and engagement displayed. The grading rubric evaluates the content based on seven areas: Content Knowledge & Structure, Critical Thinking, Clarity & Effective Communication, Integration of Knowledge & Articles, Presentation, Writing Mechanics, and Response to Other Students.
