Penn Foster Stategic Management Project

[EllisGrant]

I know that many people here have already completed the PF strategic management course and I'm in search of a little guidance on what the final project should look like. I have four TECEPS to take this month and I'd like to focus on those. How lengthy does it need to be, how in depth? I've gotten some mixed messages and the instructor was very vague. Does anyone have a example I could take a peek at?

Thanks,

Ellis

Make sure you have a cover page and reference page. Start with a SWOT analysis and make sure you answer each question completely. Use proper format for your paper. My paper was 9 pages including cover and reference.

Thanks, that was what I was looking for as well, when I asked her how many pages in the webinar, she mentioned quality over quantity and also to have the SWOT, as mentioned the points and references must be backed up. Furthermore, she mentioned to have it as question order and not just paragraphs...

I know she said there were lots of these out there to copy offline, however I wish I had a good example of one, not to copy or plagiarize from but to have a better idea. Being on military orders for the next two weeks I'm going to have some spare time hopefully to knock it out.

I'm with you, a sample would be nice for reference only, if you find one please share. I'll do three same.
