Organizational Strategy and Leadership

Organizational Strategy and Leadership
Assignment 2: Additional Information
It is important to note that the unit of analysis for assignment 2 is an organisation (not industry). You may choose an organisation that you are familiar with – either through your employment (current or past) or simply by research.
This assignment involves research within the context of existing knowledge. Your investigation may be based on both primary and secondary data that should be analyzed and used to support a logically structured argument. It is important to recognize that mere reporting of facts will be inadequate and I will look for evidence of critical review and analysis.
You are expected to assess three distinct dimensions of strategy for the selected organisation. The dimensions are:
 Generic business strategy  Organisational culture  Formal organisational structure
You must report the current status of each dimension and provide a critique of its relevance. You need to clearly articulate the conclusions that you draw about these dimensions individually. What linkages and consistency can you identify or infer within these dimensions?
