Question 1: Consider the four functions of management (e.g., planning, organizing, leading, and controlling). How would you characterize your current or past supervisor's approach to management? Consider these questions in your response:

• Which particular management tasks and roles does this person perform most often?
• What kinds of management skills does the manager have?
• How does this approach affect a global environment?

Question 2: Now that you've considered the approaches to management, you can focus on the strategy that is affected by the management team. Research a company with stockholder reports available. These reports can usually be found on a company's website. Use the report to answer the following questions:

• What is (are) the main industry(ies) in which the company competes?
• What business-level strategy does the company seem to be pursuing in this industry? Why?
• What corporate-level strategies is the company pursuing? Why?
• Have there been any major changes in its strategy recently? Why?
