Strategic Issue Analysis Paper Guidelines

Prepare and submit a 20 - 25 page paper in which you apply core concepts from the MAOL program to a strategic organizational issue with significant leadership challenges; the issue may be a problem or opportunity that your organization is currently facing or has faced in the past. Examples of strategic organizational issues with major leadership implications that could be the basis of an effective analysis include:

• Merger or acquisition
• Reorganization or restructuring
• Large lay-off (10% or more of staff)
• Entry into a new market and/or country
• New technology or system
• New product development and/or implementation

In analyzing the issue and proposing recommendations, you must position yourself as the leader either as a mid to senior-level manager or an external consultant working with the senior management team. After briefly describing the issue, analyze the problem or opportunity from different perspectives to draw conclusions and recommend action.

There are no new textbooks for OLCU 681.  However the final paper must cite and reference 20 or more sources using the textbooks from the six core MAOL courses:  OLCU 600, 601, 602, 613, 614, and 615, and/or other relevant academic sources such as peer-reviewer journal articles.
