(You may discuss any type of Project management career)
For CT Module 2, please identify the target organization you will use throughout the course, your position (actual or likely), your actual or likely managerial level (top, middle, or operational), and for those at middle and operational managerial levels, the functional area of your work (e.g., human resources, marketing, management information systems, finance, etc.). Define and describe two strategic and two non-strategic decisions. What types of strategic and non-strategic decisions are made in this area/function? Remember that strategic decisions include a long-term focus, a long-term commitment that included resource dedication, and alignment to support achieving the strategic outcome. Non-strategic decisions are short-term, easier to accomplish, and easier to undo if needed as compared to strategic decisions.
Identify and apply an appropriate analytical tool to analyze external factors that affect company performance. Given the findings of your analysis, and from your individual career perspective, assess the firm’s opportunities and threats. Remember opportunities and threats are external factors identified from the external environment. From your individual career perspective, identify and apply an appropriate analytical tool to analyze resources and capabilities that affect company performance. Given the findings of your analysis, and from your individual career perspective, assess the firm’s strengths and weaknesses. What recommendations do you have for the company? What opportunities or risks relate to your long-term employment with this organization? What actions can you take to act on the opportunities and mitigate the risks?
Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length. Include at least 2 scholarly references including the course textbook. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references (available in the left-hand navigation panel).
