I never supported the "revolt of ERBA" and do not wish to start another whine-fest on Technology Strategy.
I am also glad that the Strategy class has introduced some critical
concepts in corporate strategy that every management students ought to
know. While Porter's 5 forces of competition, Barney's VRIO, or Hamel's
Business Concept are well-established methodologies in realm of
corporate strategy analysis, they are by no means the only
methodologies available. I think any write-up would need to consider
other options of assessing the viability of a company's strategy. My
main disappointment for this class is the fixation on just 3
methodologies. But with a condensed class-duration and the limitation
of 1,000 words in each write-up, maybe there is a reason for
restricting to just 3 methodologies. I know that I am waffling on this,
but the point I am trying to make is, what is the best strategy to
implement in order to do well for the write-up's? I believe I know my
material, the problem is how to express or show to the professor and TA
that I do. I'll think more about this later. It's getting late now and
I need to go to bed soon as I have to wake up early tomorrow for a
running race.
