After reading the article and the entire Mental Health & Stress Chapter, discuss your educated opinion on this topic. Whenever possible, relate your answers to our course material.

Are we as a society “too connected?” Do you think this issue of connectivity (maybe social media specifically) affects mental health? Do you personally find that you struggle to disconnect? Are there certain daily times / activities you feel that should be absolutely free from device connectivity? You may want to discuss the pros and cons of constant connectivity that you have experienced in your own life, or the lives of those close to you. What strategies are available to help someone who is struggling to disconnect for a healthly period of time?

David Ricardo was the first economist to elaborate the theory of comparative advantage in his book On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation. Ricardo wrote:

Under a system of perfectly free commerce, each country naturally devotes its capital and labour to such employments as are most beneficial to each. This pursuit of individual advantage is admirably connected with the universal good of the whole . . . It is this principle, which determines that wine shall be made in France and Portugal, that corn shall be grown in America and Poland, and that hardware and other goods shall be manufactured in England. (1817, p. 188)

Strategic Plan and Forecasting

/in /by

Team Report: Strategic Plan and Forecast: The management team should draft a Strategic Plan and Forecast outlining a competitive strategy for the selected organization over a three-year outlook period.

Reference the team’s vision/mission/values/objectives and performance expectations. Analyze the organization’s industry.

Review company baseline statistics regarding marketing, product design, assembly, human resources and finances which in turn may be summarized in a brief SWOT and tied to financial and market share outlook targets. Develop annual income statement projections.

Indicate benchmarking criteria. Specify prudent ex ante measures for dealing with business risks that may arise and could jeopardize performance and survivability. Discuss expected outcomes and cite surveillance data for determining if mid-course adjustments would be required.

The Strategic Plan and Forecast should be an ex ante, forward-looking document. The team strategy must be tailored to case specifics and might deviate from any particular generic competitive strategy option, such as the low cost leadership or differentiation or focused forms discussed in the textbook.

The report should include a brief introduction indicating report organization and contributions of the participants. End the report with a summary and conclusions. The report should amount to around 15 pages of narrative text, not counting title page, any appendixes, list of references or tables and figures, etc. Demonstrate good grasp of course concepts — but do not include lengthy reviews of literature or repetition of textbook material within the principal sections of the report. An example table of contents follows.
