DIscussion Board 1

Help me study for my Business class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Overview

Each week of this course explores a core theme related to strategic thinking for decision making, and each Discussion Board Forum Main Thread is designed to help you analyze, evaluate, and synthesize what you have learned from the reading as well as your own research from the literature. In the week following your Main Thread, you will provide a critical Reply to at least one of your classmates.

Process vs. Strategic Thinking – It is important to differentiate between process (what to do, steps to take) and thinking (the thought process behind why you are doing what you are doing and what steps you take).

Be sure to use APA formatting for all elements of your Main Threads and your Replies. This should include Title Blocks, Headings, Citations, References, and general formatting.

You must paste your text directly into the message window in Blackboard and attach a word document (.docx) for each post.
