Part 1. Topic choice

Target Organization Discussion

This week, choose the target organization for your Portfolio Project that resonates with you and your career interests, and discuss a vision statement for your chosen organization.

Below is a list of organizations to consider as your target organization. These organizations are included as case studies in part 6 of the textbook. The case studies provide insights and information that you can use in your Portfolio Project.

1. Domino's Pizza, Inc.

2. Spirit Airlines, Inc.

3. Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc.

You are not limited to this list. If there is another organization that you are interested in, post it as your target organization. Include a paragraph as to why you have selected this target organization.

Keep in mind that if you select an organization not included as a case study, you might need to conduct more research to gather background information about the organization.

As the Vice President of your chosen organization, submit a summary of your vision statement for your organization for grading. Your summary must follow these guidelines: One page in length, and well-written in conformity with apa format.

Support your summary using three to four peer-reviewed articles/professional sources in addition to the textbook. Include a title page, introduction, and reference page.

Part 2 outline:

This is the perfect point in the course to identify strategy options that might be appropriate for your target organization in preparation for your final project and to develop an overall Portfolio Project outline.

Incorporating everything that you have learned to date about your target company and analyzing that content will begin to reveal potential strategic options. Make sure you understand and have documented long-term objectives or make assumptions about long-term objectives and identify them as assumptions. Use the table below to identify potential strategies.

For your Portfolio Project, you will identify a minimum of 4 potentially appropriate strategies. See the link Table 5-4 Alternative Strategies Defined and Exemplified below.

This week, develop and submit an outline of your Portfolio Project.

State your topic.

Detail the specifics on the company you chose.

Provide an outline of your paper.

Your outline should include headers (the major topics), major resources, and the intended flow of the information in the project.

Under each header, write a few sentences on what you think you might cover in that section.

Be sure to include your strategy options.

Provide four scholarly articles that you might consider using for your final Portfolio Project. Give a short reason why each would be pertinent to your project.

This is not expected to be a final list. The goal here is to motivate you to begin examining research that might help you in your final Portfolio Project.

Add a reference section for your research sources.

Format your outline according to the APA format.

The final essay description is attached and the table Table 5-4 Alternative Strategies Defined and Exemplified attached as well. Use both files.
