Management
week 1
Robin Hood
Read the Robin Hood case C1 in the textbook. (The case begins right
after Chapter 13.) How can you relate this case to strategic
management?

Strategic Management
Select a company in the news and apply one or more of the strategic
concepts from Chapter 1 to the company. Be sure to state what
concept and page from the textbook you are applying. Examples
could be such concepts as romantic view of leadership versus control
view (pages 5–7), competitive advantage (page 8), four key attributes
(page 9), realized versus intended strategy (page 12), corporate
governance, stakeholder management, NGOs, and more. Next,
critically evaluate the applications proposed by your classmates.
