Review the Industry Conditions Report and CapStone Courier found in the Reports section of the left hand menu in the CapSim simulation.

Prepare to discuss this issue with the other members of your team.

Your discussion should include the following:

  • What competitive challenge is faced by your company? What are the opportunities and threats (Pettus, Ch. 4)?

Other guidelines on assignments include the following: 

§ Check spelling, grammar, and punctuation to avoid any point deductions related to these matters.

§ It is encouraged that you use at least 5 credible and relevant sources (credible can be peer reviewed articles, articles from reputable journals, company specific internet web pages, or published books) for each task in most cases, this practice will essential for completing tasks. I encourage the use of CTU’s extensive library search engine for references. It is better than simply going to the Internet and searching non-peer reviewed sites or professional journals. Sources can include course textbook and at least one outside sources will also be helpful and per the grading rubrics, can sometimes impact the points earned on specific tasks. 

 

M7 Assignment 1 Discussion

M7 Assignment 1 Discussion

  • Reflect on a variety of conflicts you have experienced in the past. Select those behaviors or characteristics that are highly correlated with managing and/or resolving conflict. Provide a rationale as to why you selected these behaviors or characteristics.
  • Conduct a careful analysis of your approach, insight, and self-knowledge resulting from completing the case studies.
  • Determine whether there are patterns, postures, or perspectives that informed you as to how you approach and complete the case studies (or conflict situations).
  • This assignment will provide you with practice in reflexivity—a term taken from qualitative research. It involves identifying one's position and voice when answering "What do I know?" and "How do I know it?" This process requires honest descriptions and appraisals of a person's values and perspectives in an ongoing experience with his or her ideas and/or actions. This process allows the writer to use rich descriptions, meaningful sequencing, selected quotes, and elaborations on keen insight being experienced. The individual, being reflective, writes in first person, active voice. Description and interpretation are expected to happen. At the same time, a person's recognition of his or her bias or particular stance to a set of ideas must be included. Quality, rather than quantity, of work is expected.
