Module 4 – Case

STRATEGY MAPPING & THE LEARNING AND GROWTH PERSPECTIVE

Case Assignment

Explain the process of strategy mapping and how it relates to performance management and establishing value propositions. You may discuss this theoretically or use the Glacier Inn case study presented in the Armitage and Scholey (2006) document in your readings to serve as an example for integrating these ideas. Alternatively, you can use the Hazard Action Zone case study presented in Murby & Gold document (see background readings) if you’d prefer.

Assignment Expectations

Your essay should be 4–5 pages long and include the following:

Introduction: In this part of your essay introduce your topic and provide a brief overview of the key points you plan to make in your paper.

Analysis: In this section present the actual comparison and contrast between BAA’s approach to the Balanced Scorecard and more traditional approaches.

Conclusion: Wrap up your argument with a clear and cogent synopsis of your findings. Do your best to convince your reader (aka your professor) that your position is valid.

Additional Instructions: Your essay should be 4–5 pages in length (not counting your title page or references). You must include a title page and a list references. APA formatting is preferred. Do not paste in sections of text into your essay. All of your work must be written in your own words. It’s OK to use a short quote now and again, but quotations must be in quotation marks and properly cited. In-text citations should be used anytime you are borrowing somebody else’s ideas or information. That is to say, if you are borrowing a thought from a publication from J. Neutron’s article written in 2010, that section of text must be followed with (J. Neutron, 2010). Quotations, data, and general ideas (put into your own words) should all be cited.
