What C209 is really about

Strategic Management is a management and leadership course on how organizations set direction and align to it. It covers mission, vision and values, internal and external analysis with tools such as SWOT and Porter's five forces, strategy formulation, implementation and performance measurement with frameworks such as the balanced scorecard.

Two written tasks make up the assessment. Task 1 examines how vision, mission and values statements shape an organization's strategy; the second develops a strategic plan that gives staff a roadmap. Both reward specific analysis of a real or realistic organization over general definitions. The retailer on this shelf is a composite; the strategy research is real. Throughout, the samples show how each tool leads to a decision: a SWOT finding becomes an objective, the objective gets a measure, and the measure gets an owner and a target date.

What C209’s tasks ask for

C209's written work generally has you evaluate an organization's vision, mission and values and explain how they guide strategy, then analyze its environment, set strategic objectives and actions, and measure progress with a balanced scorecard or similar framework.

Why C209 tasks come back for revision

Tasks are often returned when mission and vision are confused, when analysis tools are filled in without conclusions, or when objectives lack measures and owners. The retailer's sample is deliberately small enough to follow, one company and four objectives, so the links between parts stay visible.
