Carefully study the assigned reading and write a 600 word briefing paper that
includes the following sections:

Title name of your paper based on your understanding of the reading.

Background bullet form (3-5) summary of the most relevant points made in the
reading. Make sure that you cite appropriately.

Understanding (approximately 40% of words) construct a paragraph that
articulates what you have learned from the reading. Use your own words and avoid
the use of direct quotes.

Recommended Applications (approximately 50% of words) find a business
(small businesses are preferred) that is experiencing strategic problems that relate
to the content of the reading. Explain how the current strategic problems that the
business is facing could be fixed if all or some of the concepts from the reading were
applied. Avoid presenting a successful business that does not need help. I am trying
to assess how well you can use the concepts from the reading to solve relevant
strategic problems of a real business. Make sure that the problems of that particular
business are closely related to the content of the reading.
