Describe the methodology for evaluating the range of strategic options generated in the strategy process and explain why commitment to previous strategy may constrain future choices. 4. Explain why goals and objectives are so important in the strategic management process. 5. Implementation is the crucial and most difficult task in strategic management. Show whether you agree with this statement and give examples. 6. Evaluate Porter’s five force model as an analytical tool and discuss where you feel it has limitations. 7. What is the purpose of mission statements? Discuss the process of formulation and explain the criteria on which they should rest. 8. Without a clearly defined corporate strategy, business level managers will find it extremely difficult to set coherent business strategies. Discuss this statement and show whether you agree. 9. Formulation and implementation of an appropriate strategy is a vital part of corporate governance – discuss this statement and show whether you agree with it. 10. Explain how previous organizational commitments can influence and constrain future strategic options. Show why this is an important aspect of strategy evaluation. 11. Using current events show how macro environmental turbulence can affect industry forces in differing ways. 12. Compare and contrast Porter’s three generic strategies and explain, with examples, why they are not mutually exclusive
