EXERCISE FOR SIMULATION PARTICIPANTS
Three basic questions must be answered by managers of organizations of all sizes as they begin the process of crafting strategy:
What is our present situation?
Where do we want to go from here?
How are we going to get there?
After you have read the Participant’s Guide or Player’s Manual for the strategy simulation exercise that you will participate in during this academic term, you and your co-managers should come up with brief one- or two-paragraph answers to these three questions
prior to
entering your first set of decisions. While your answer to the first of the three questions can be developed from your reading of the manual, the page 16 second and third questions will require a collaborative discussion among the members of your company’s management team about how you intend to manage the company you have been assigned to run.
What is our company’s current situation?
A substantive answer to this question should cover the following issues:
Is your company in a good, average, or weak competitive position vis-à-vis rival companies?
Does your company appear to be in a sound financial condition?
Does it appear to have a competitive advantage, and is it likely to be sustainable?
What problems does your company have that need to be addressed?
LO 1

Where do we want to take the company during the time we are in charge?
A complete answer to this question should say something about each of the following:
What goals or aspirations do you have for your company?
What do you want the company to be known for?
What market share would you like your company to have after the first five decision rounds?
By what amount or percentage would you like to increase total profits of the company by the end of the final decision round?
What kinds of performance outcomes will signal that you and your co-managers are managing the company in a successful manner?
LO 4

Your answer should cover these issues:
Which one of the basic strategic and competitive approaches discussed in this chapter do you think makes the most sense to pursue?
What kind of competitive advantage over rivals will you try to achieve?
How would you describe the company’s business model?
What kind of actions will support these objectives?

Population Growth and Water Resources
Of all natural resources, water is the most essential. It supports vital processes of value to mankind such as food production, drinking water, and fisheries, among others.

The reality is that supplying water to support mankind’s needs has not kept with pace with population and economic growth. Discuss the role that population growth has played in water pollution. List and describe 2 potential solutions to the potential “water crisis” we may face if water resources continue to be misused.

Policy networks are a prevalent feature of democratic governance. Th.docxblazelaj2
Policy networks are a prevalent feature of democratic governance. The policy network approach requires collaboration among interested parties in order to make progress in forming public policy. The various actors in a policy network organize, form coalitions, communicate, coordinate, and compete around policy issues of interest to them. Policy networks are organic entities that may change over time. Depending on the policy issue, today’s allies in a policy network may be tomorrow’s enemies. For example, conservative and libertarian groups may work together to defeat a new tax proposal but may quickly part ways over the legalization of medical marijuana. The operation of policy networks is shaped by the political, social, and economic climate in which they operate.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the articles “Analyzing and Managing Policy Processes in Complex Networks: A Theoretical Examination of the Concept Policy Network and Its Problems” in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the definitions of policy network presented and the evolving structures and processes associated with the term
policy network

Police officers believed that Deft had assaulted Bart because Bart f.docxblazelaj2
Police officers believed that Deft had assaulted Bart because Bart failed to pay Deft for cocaine Deft sold to Bart. The others obtained a valid warrant for the arrest of Deft on an assault charge. They went to Deft's apartment and arrested Deft at the front door when he responded to their knock. The officers then walked through the apartment and, in a rear bedroom, saw drug paraphernalia which they left in place.
A police officer advised Deft of his
Miranda
rights. Deft immediately stated: "I do not want to talk to you." Deft was booked and placed in a cell with Snitch, an inmate who was known by the jailers to be an informant. Snitch asked Deft why he had been arrested and engaged Deft in a conversation about drug sales during which Deft made statements incriminating himself concerning drug trafficking. Snitch promptly related Deft's statements to jail personnel.
Police then obtained a warrant authorizing a search of Deft's apartment for cocaine and drug paraphernalia. The affidavit in support of the warrant recited that Deft had sold cocaine to Bart. The affidavit also recited that a police officer had seen drug paraphernalia in Deft's apartment. The affidavit did not disclose Deft's statements to Snitch or the circumstances in which police observed the drug paraphernalia. Officers who executed the search warrant seized the drug paraphernalia and cocaine which they also found in the apartment.
Deft has been charged with possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia under applicable state laws.
Deft has moved to exclude from evidence his statements to Snitch. Deft claims his statements were involuntary, were elicited after he invoked his
Miranda
rights, and were obtained in the absence of counsel. He argues that admission of the evidence would violate his rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the United States Constitution. What arguments should the prosecutor make in opposition to the motion, and how should the court rule on the motion? Discuss.
Deft has also moved to exclude any testimony regarding the police officers' initial observations of drug paraphernalia in Deft's home and to exclude the items seized in the search made pursuant to the search warrant.
a. What arguments based on the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution should Deft make in support of this motion?
b. What arguments should the prosecutor make in opposition to the motion, and how should the court rule on the motion? Discuss.

Point of View Essay
Major Paper #1--The Point of View Essay
We will be working on this paper for the next three units. The final draft of the paper--with all three sections described below--will be due at the end of Unit #4.
Purpose:
This paper assignment has several purposes. As the first major paper for this class, the Point of View Essay is designed to re-engage you with the fundamentals of all good writing, including using lush sensory details to show the reader a particular place (rather than tell them about it), basic organization, clear focus, etc. However, this unit does not function as a mere review. The Point of View Essay will also introduce you to the concept of "thinking and seeing rhetorically, and analyzing writing rhetorically"--using the Writer's Toolbox described in this unit to improve your writing and critical reading skills. Finally, the Point of View Essay allows you to reflect on this process.
The Assignment:
1. Pleasant/Unpleasant Description of the Place:
Choose a place you can observe for an extended period of time (at least 20-30 minutes). Use all of your senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, even taste if possible) to experience the place, and record all of the sensations that you experience. As you record your data, you may wish to note which details naturally seem more positive, negative, or neutral, in terms of tone. (For instance, a stinky and overflowing trash barrel swarming with flies in a nearby alley might seem more inherently negative than a little white bunny rabbit hopping playfully across the lawn.) Then, you will use this information to help your write descriptions of the place: one positive, one negative. Both descriptions should be factually true (same real time and real place), but you will want one description to be positive in terms of tone and the other to be negative. In addition to including the information and sensory details you've collected as the basis for these descriptions, you will also use the Writer's Toolbox to create your two contrasting impressions for this assignment. (The Writer's Toolbox is explained in the Lecture Notes section of this unit.) As you revise and refine your descriptions, please be sure you are "showing" your readers your place (really putting the readers "there" in the moment and in this scene), rather than simply "telling" them about it. You will also want to try to eliminate unnecessary linking verbs as much as you can, incorporating verbs that show "action" whenever possible.
2. Rhetorical Analysis:
Looking back at your descriptions, analyze how you created these two very different impressions of the place (one positive, one negative) without changing any of the facts. How did you make your place seem so positive in one paragraph and yet so negative in the other paragraph, without changing the facts? Discuss how you incorporated each of the tools from the Writer's Toolbox, and cite examples of this from each of your descriptions. (This.

These features include but are not limited to: form/structure, imagery, voice/persona, symbols, archetypes, simile, metaphor, allusion, personification, hyperbole, alliteration, assonance, consonance, rhyme, onomatopoeia, etc. (Consult your text or lecture notes.) Please make these explanatory notes and comments clearly and legibly on the page.
Additionally, you should note the theme of the poem (in one, full sentence) as well as any other important or significant information or further discussion of the elements noted. This might include further discussion of symbols or metaphors found in the poem, imagery, archetypes, references to historical events or literature, information about the reason for the poet’s writing of the poem, etc. Consider why the poet chose certain words, or chose to rhyme or not to, or why he/she included or left out certain features of poetry, etc. (If you do not have enough space, please attach a separate page STAPLED to the first.)

Casino Queen, Inc. operates a gambling and hotel establishment in East St. Louis, Illinois. Casino Queen’s location places it within a large metropolitan area comprised of East St. Louis, Illinois, and St. Louis, Missouri, and several other cities in both Illinois and Missouri. Casino Queen advertises through print, radio, and television media in Missouri. Mark Myers is a resident of St. Louis County, Missouri. Myers went to Casino Queen to gamble and won $17,500. He cashed out his winnings and took a cab to Missouri. Two individuals who saw him cash out his winnings at the casino followed Myers in a cab to Missouri, where they beat and robbed him of his winnings. Myers sued Casino Queen in a Missouri court, alleging that the casino was negligent in not providing Myers warnings of such illegal activities and protecting him from such activities. Casino Queen, an Illinois corporation, made a motion to have the lawsuit dismissed by the Missouri court, alleging that the Missouri court did not have personal jurisdiction over the Illinois casino. Myers argued that Missouri’s long-arm statute gave it personal jurisdiction over Casino Queen. Does the Missouri court have personal jurisdiction over the Illinois casino based on Missouri’s long-arm statute?

Police officers believed that Deft had assaulted Bart because Bart f.docxblazelaj2
Police officers believed that Deft had assaulted Bart because Bart failed to pay Deft for cocaine Deft sold to Bart. The others obtained a valid warrant for the arrest of Deft on an assault charge. They went to Deft's apartment and arrested Deft at the front door when he responded to their knock. The officers then walked through the apartment and, in a rear bedroom, saw drug paraphernalia which they left in place.
A police officer advised Deft of his
Miranda
rights. Deft immediately stated: "I do not want to talk to you." Deft was booked and placed in a cell with Snitch, an inmate who was known by the jailers to be an informant. Snitch asked Deft why he had been arrested and engaged Deft in a conversation about drug sales during which Deft made statements incriminating himself concerning drug trafficking. Snitch promptly related Deft's statements to jail personnel.
Police then obtained a warrant authorizing a search of Deft's apartment for cocaine and drug paraphernalia. The affidavit in support of the warrant recited that Deft had sold cocaine to Bart. The affidavit also recited that a police officer had seen drug paraphernalia in Deft's apartment. The affidavit did not disclose Deft's statements to Snitch or the circumstances in which police observed the drug paraphernalia. Officers who executed the search warrant seized the drug paraphernalia and cocaine which they also found in the apartment.
Deft has been charged with possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia under applicable state laws.
Deft has moved to exclude from evidence his statements to Snitch. Deft claims his statements were involuntary, were elicited after he invoked his
Miranda
rights, and were obtained in the absence of counsel. He argues that admission of the evidence would violate his rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the United States Constitution. What arguments should the prosecutor make in opposition to the motion, and how should the court rule on the motion? Discuss.
Deft has also moved to exclude any testimony regarding the police officers' initial observations of drug paraphernalia in Deft's home and to exclude the items seized in the search made pursuant to the search warrant.
a. What arguments based on the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution should Deft make in support of this motion?
b. What arguments should the prosecutor make in opposition to the motion, and how should the court rule on the motion? Discuss.

Orangeburg, SC.
Using the exercise for simulation participants on page 15 as
well as table 2.1 on page 22 of your textbook, create a vision, a
mission and workable objectives for your company.
EXERCISE FOR SIMULATION PARTICIPANTS
Three basic questions must be answered by managers of
organizations of all sizes as they begin the process of crafting
strategy:
What is our present situation?
Where do we want to go from here?
How are we going to get there?
After you have read the Participant’s Guide or Player’s Manual
for the strategy simulation exercise that you will participate in
during this academic term, you and your co-managers should
come up with brief one- or two-paragraph answers to these three
questions
prior to
entering your first set of decisions. While your answer to the
first of the three questions can be developed from your reading
of the manual, the page 16 second and third questions will
require a collaborative discussion among the members of your
company’s management team about how you intend to manage
2. the company you have been assigned to run.
What is our company’s current situation?
A substantive answer to this question should cover the
following issues:
Is your company in a good, average, or weak competitive
position vis-à-vis rival companies?
Does your company appear to be in a sound financial condition?
Does it appear to have a competitive advantage, and is it li kely
to be sustainable?
What problems does your company have that need to be
addressed?
LO 1
,
LO 2
,
LO 3
Where do we want to take the company during the time we are
in charge?
A complete answer to this question should say something about
each of the following:
3. What goals or aspirations do you have for your company?
What do you want the company to be known for?
What market share would you like your company to have after
the first five decision rounds?
By what amount or percentage would you like to increase total
profits of the company by the end of the final decision round?
What kinds of performance outcomes will signal that you and
your co-managers are managing the company in a successful
manner?
LO 4
,
LO 6
How are we going to get there?
Your answer should cover these issues:
Which one of the basic strategic and competitive approaches
discussed in this chapter do you think makes the most sense to
pursue?
What kind of competitive advantage over rivals will you try to
achieve?
How would you describe the company’s business model?
4. What kind of actions will support these objectives?

Next, using stage 4 and 5 on page 36 and 37 as well as the
Exercise for simulation participants on page 43 of your textbook
to create workable objectives for your company.
STAGE 4: EXECUTING THE STRATEGY
LO 4
What a company must do to achieve operating excellence and to
execute its strategy proficiently.
Managing the implementation of a strategy is easily the most
demanding and time-consuming part of the strategy management
process. Converting strategic plans into actions and results tests
a manager’s ability to direct organizational change, motivate
company personnel, build and strengthen competitive
capabilities, create and nurture a strategy-supportive work
climate, and meet or beat performance targets. Initiatives to put
the strategy in place and execute it proficiently must be
launched and managed on many organizational fronts.
Management’s action agenda for executing the chosen strategy
emerges from assessing what the company will have to do to
achieve the targeted financial and strategic performance. Each
5. company manager has to think through the answer to the
question “What needs to be done in my area to execute my piece
of the strategic plan, and what actions should I take to get the
process under way?” How much internal change is needed
depends on how much of the strategy is new, how far internal
practices and competencies deviate from what the strategy
requires, and how well the present work culture supports good
strategy execution. Depending on the amount of internal change
involved, full implementation and proficient execution of the
company strategy (or important new pieces thereof) can take
several months to several years.
In most situations, managing the strategy execution process
includes the following principal aspects:
Creating a strategy-supporting structure.
Staffing the organization to obtain needed skills and expertise.
Developing and strengthening strategy-supporting resources and
capabilities.
Allocating ample resources to the activities critical to strategic
success.
Ensuring that policies and procedures facilitate effective
strategy execution.
Organizing the work effort along the lines of best practice.
Installing information and operating systems that enable
company personnel to perform essential activities.
Motivating people and tying rewards directly to the achievement
of performance objectives.
6. Creating a company culture conducive to successful strategy
execution.
Exerting the internal leadership needed to propel
implementation forward.
Good strategy execution requires diligent pursuit of operating
excellence. It is a job for a company’s whole management team.
Success hinges on the skills and cooperation of operating
managers who can push for needed changes in their
organizational units and consistently deliver good results.
Management’s handling of the strategypage 37 implementation
process can be considered successful if things go smoothly
enough that the company meets or beats its strategic and
financial performance targets and shows good progress in
achieving management’s strategic vision.
STAGE 5: EVALUATING PERFORMANCE AND INITIATING
CORRECTIVE ADJUSTMENTS
The fifth component of the strategy management process—
monitoring new external developments, evaluating the
company’s progress, and making corrective adjustments—is the
trigger point for deciding whether to continue or change the
company’s vision and mission, objectives, strategy, and/or
strategy execution methods.
15
As long as the company’s strategy continues to pass the three
tests of a winning strategy discussed in
Chapter 1
(good fit, competitive advantage, strong performance),
company executives may decide to stay the course. Simply fine-
7. tuning the strategic plan and continuing with efforts to improve
strategy execution are sufficient.
But whenever a company encounters disruptive changes in its
environment, questions need to be raised about the
appropriateness of its direction and strategy. If a company
experiences a downturn in its market position or persistent
shortfalls in performance, then company managers are obligated
to ferret out the causes—do they relate to poor strategy, poor
strategy execution, or both?—and take timely corrective action.
A company’s direction, objectives, and strategy have to be
revisited anytime external or internal conditions warrant.
A company’s vision, mission, objectives, strategy, and approach
to strategy execution are never final; reviewing whether and
when to make revisions is an ongoing process.
Likewise, managers are obligated to assess which of the
company’s operating methods and approaches to strategy
execution merit continuation and which need improvement.
Proficient strategy execution is always the product of much
organizational learning. It is achieved unevenly—coming
quickly in some areas and proving troublesome in others.
Consequently, top-notch strategy execution entails vigilantly
searching for ways to improve and then making corrective
adjustments whenever and wherever it is useful to do so.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: THE ROLE OF THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS IN THE STRATEGY-CRAFTING,
STRATEGY-EXECUTING PROCESS
LO 5
The role and responsibility of a company’s board of directors in
overseeing the strategic management process.
8. Although senior managers have the
lead responsibility
for crafting and executing a company’s strategy, it is the duty
of a company’s board of directors to exercise strong oversight
and see that management performs the various tasks involved in
each of the five stages of the strategy-making, strategy-
executing process in a manner that best serves the interests of
shareholders and other stakeholders.
16
A company’s board of directors has four important obligations
to fulfill:
Oversee the company’s financial accounting and financial
reporting practices
. While top executives, particularly the company’s CEO and
CFO (chief financial officer), are primarily responsible for
seeing that the company’s financial statements fairly and
accurately report the results of the company’s operations,page
38
board members have a
legal obligation
to warrant the accuracy of the company’s financial reports and
protect shareholders. It is their job to ensure that generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are used properly in
preparing the company’s financial statements and that proper
financial controls are in place to prevent fraud and misuse of
funds. Virtually all boards of directors have an audit committee,
always composed entirely of
outside directors
(
9. inside directors
hold management positions in the company and either directly
or indirectly report to the CEO). The members of the audit
committee have the lead responsibility for overseeing the
decisions of the company’s financial officers and consulting
with both internal and external auditors to ensure accurate
financial reporting and adequate financial controls.
Critically appraise the company’s direction, strategy, and
business approaches
. Board members are also expected to guide management in
choosing a strategic direction and to make independent
judgments about the validity and wisdom of management’s
proposed strategic actions. This aspect of their duties takes on
heightened importance when the company’s strategy is failing
or is plagued with faulty execution, and certainly when there is
a precipitous collapse in profitability. But under more normal
circumstances, many boards have found that meeting agendas
become consumed by compliance matters with little time left to
discuss matters of strategic importance. The board of directors
and management at Philips Electronics hold annual two- to
three-day retreats devoted exclusively to evaluating the
company’s long-term direction and various strategic proposals.
The company’s exit from the semiconductor business and its
increased focus on medical technology and home health care
resulted from management-board discussions during such
retreats.
17
Evaluate the caliber of senior executives’ strategic leadership
skills
. The board is always responsible for determining whether the
current CEO is doing a good job of strategic leadership (as a
basis for awarding salary increases and bonuses and deciding on
retention or removal).
10. 18
Boards must also exercise due diligence in evaluating the
strategic leadership skills of other senior executives in line to
succeed the CEO. When the incumbent CEO steps down or
leaves for a position elsewhere, the board must elect a
successor, either going with an insider or deciding that an
outsider is needed to perhaps radically change the company’s
strategic course. Often, the outside directors on a board visit
company facilities and talk with company personnel personally
to evaluate whether the strategy is on track, how well the
strategy is being executed, and how well issues and problems
are being addressed by various managers. For example,
independent board members at GE visit operating executives at
each major business unit once a year to assess the company’s
talent pool and stay abreast of emerging strategic and operating
issues affecting the company’s divisions. Home Depot board
members visit a store once per quarter to determine the health
of the company’s operations.
19
Institute a compensation plan for top executives that rewards
them for actions and results that serve stakeholder interests, and
most especially those of shareholders
. A basic principle of corporate governance is that the owners of
a corporation (the shareholders) delegate operating authority
and managerial control to top management in return for
compensation. In their role as
agents
of shareholders, top executives have a clear and unequivocal
duty to make decisions and operate the company in accord with
shareholder interests. (This does not mean disregardingpage 39
the interests of other stakeholders—employees, suppliers, the
11. communities in which the company operates, and society at
large.) Most boards of directors have a compensation
committee, composed entirely of directors from
outside
the company, to develop a salary and incentive compensation
plan that rewards senior executives for boosting the company’s
long-term
performance on behalf of shareholders. The compensation
committee’s recommendations are presented to the full board
for approval. But during the past 10 to
15
years, many boards of directors have done a poor job of
ensuring that executive salary increases, bonuses, and stock
option awards are tied tightly to performance measures that are
truly in the long-term interests of shareholders. Rather,
compensation packages at many companies have increasingly
rewarded executives for short-term performance
improvements—most notably, for achieving quarterly and
annual earnings targets and boosting the stock price by
specified percentages. This has had the perverse effect of
causing company managers to become preoccupied with actions
to improve a company’s near-term performance, often
motivating them to take unwise business risks to boost short-
term earnings by amounts sufficient to qualify for multimillion-
dollar compensation packages (that many see as obscenely
large). The focus on short-term performance has proved
damaging to long-term company performance and shareholder
interests—witness the huge loss of shareholder wealth that
occurred at many financial institutions in 2008–2009 because of
executive risk taking in subprime loans, credit default swaps,
12. and collateralized mortgage securities. As a consequence, the
need to overhaul and reform executive compensation has
become a hot topic in both public circles and corporate
boardrooms.

the 2015 emissions cheating scandal, which cost the company
billions of dollars and the trust of its stakeholders.
