Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. Signature/Benchmark Assignments are graded with a grading guide or an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for course/program improvements.

Assignment Steps
Resources: Strategic Planning Outline and Week 5 textbook readings
Develop a minimum of 700-word section for your business model and strategic plan in which you add your strategies and tactics to implement and realize your objectives, measures, and targets.
- Identify marketing and information technology as part of the strategies and tactics section of the business plan.
- Develop at least three methods to monitor and control your proposed strategic plan, being sure to analyze how the measures will advance organizational goals financially and operationally.
- Determine the best possible options for evaluating the strategic plan.
- Explain the ethical issues faced by the organization, summarize the legal and regulatory issues faced by the organization, and then summarize the organization’s corporate social responsibility.
- Show, in this section, the possible implications of the triple bottom line (people, planet, profit) on the strategic plan and its implementation.
Prepare a minimum 350-word executive summary defining the new division of existing business. Share your Vision, Mission, final business model, and value proposition, and list your key assumptions, risks, and change management issues. Quantify the growth and profit opportunity and planned impact on various stakeholders.
Note: Any investor should be eager to meet with you after reading your executive summary.
Use the Strategic Planning Outline as a guide, and combine Parts 1, 2, and 3 of your completed business model strategic plan with your Final Business Plan Model assignment and Executive Summary. This includes the Business Model, Vision, Mission, Values, SWOTT Analysis, Supply Chain Analysis, and Balanced Scorecard and Communication Plan from prior weeks. Your consolidated final strategic plan should be a minimum of 4,200 words in length.
Format the paper consistent with APA guidelines.
!! PLEASE READ!!
!!I AM UPLOADING THE LAST 3 ASSIGNMENT THAT YOU WILL NEED FOR COMBINING. ABSOLUTELY NO PLAGIARIZING! PLEASE ADD AN OBJECTIVE FOR EACH PERSPECTIVE STATED FOR WEEK 4 PAPER( OTHER TUTOR FAILED TO DO SO).
The final individual assignment requires the merging of all your already delivered papers (without their individual introductions and conclusions) into a single, comprehensive strategic plan for your proposed business idea.
The assignment asks you to use the Business Model and Strategic Planning outline found in the Material section of the classroom. In addition to merging the papers from weeks 2, 3, and 4, the paper shall include a new section (700 to 1,050 words in length), which addresses the following subtopics:
- A new section discussing strategies and tactics to realize your strategic objectives. (Critical Requirement)
- A marketing strategy to launch your product or service.
- At least three monitoring and control methods. (Critical Requirement)
- Ethical issues the organization faces including legal and regulatory issues applicable to the selected business.
- Discuss corporate social responsibility.
Once you complete the entire paper, write a 350 word executive summary of the strategic plan. The executive summary shall briefly summarize the main points of the paper. Some people get confused about what an executive summary is. First and foremost, and executive summary is NOT the conclusion to the paper.Executive summaries are a top-level account of the proposal. It presents the issue, a summary of conclusions, and a recommendation. The syllabus contains further information of what should be included in the executive summary, but an easy way to remember this is by asking yourself, if the CEO has only 5 minutes to read the plan, what can I convey to make my point? I know that sounds like a sarcastic question, but I cannot tell you how often this happens. Also, keep in mind that this is not a marketing plan, so the executive summary shall not be a sales pitch.
The final artifact should follow the following order:
Title Page
Table of Content (Optional)
Executive Summary
Introduction (For the entire paper)
Conceptualization of the new product or service (week 2 paper)
Remove introduction and conclusion of this paper. Failure to do so will result in a penalty.

Conclusion
The final paper is quite long as it is made up of the individual papers already turned in, plus the new requirements described above. The total word count is from 4.200 to 5,250. Please make sure to stay within that range. If the paper is more than 500 word over the maximum word count, I will return the paper to the author for rework. A resubmission penalty will be applied to the final score if the paper is resubmitted. APA headings help immensely when organizing long papers. They also help me grade them as they disclose the topic of the section. They are worth 10% for this assignment. That’s quite a bit, so make sure to include them. In addition, APA in-text citations are very important and omitting them will drive a steep penalty.
