Measuring Success of Policies and Strategies

For this week’s discussion, you will identify a strategy consulting group or company that advertises its services on the internet. To prepare for your original post:

1. Study a strategy consulting organization’s products and services as presented on its website.
2. Then, see if you can map the consulting organization’s products or services to key concepts covered in this course.
3. In your original post, introduce the consulting company by name and website address and then explain what you found. Some questions that might help you formulate your thoughts include:

• What are the specific concepts that underlie the strategy consulting company’s products or services?
• Where does the strategy-consulting firm concentrate its efforts within the processes of strategy assessment, formulation, decision making, implementation, and evaluation?
• What areas or services are covered by the strategy firm but are not linked in any way to content in MGT510  ?
• Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed reference in supporting your answer unless the assignment calls for more. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Electronic Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references.
• Answering all course questions is also required.
• Use APA style guidelines.

Required Readings:

• Chapter 6 (“Competitive Advantage in Innovation Process” section) in Foundations of Strategy.
• Chapter 8 (“International Competition” section) in Foundations of Strategy.
