Strategic Management TECEP

[passit1]

i mean there are countless sections that have lists. just one example that i'm studying now. it has 7 bullet points for "signs managment is truly committed to instilling a new culture."

are these 7 bullets.. what you mean by a list? or something more substantial than that. like the five-forces model, being a list.

or again a few pages later an example:

"in general, leading the drive for good strategy execution and operating excellence calls for three actions on the part of the manager-in-charge:

*Staying on top of what is happening and closely monitoring progress.

*Putting constructive pressure on the organization to execute the strategy well and achieve operating excellence

*Initiating corrective actions to improve strategy execution and achieve the targeted performance results."

surely you dont mean these as lists right??

or again this:

"Success in making corrective actions hinges on 1) a thorough analysis of the situation. 2) the exercise of good business judment in dciding what actions tot ake ,and 3) good implementation of the corrective actions that are initiated"

there are innumerable examples like this. When everyone on here is stressing to study the lists.. do you mean lists like the above?

I can't speak on the Strategic Management exam because I haven't taken it yet but I have taken other TECEP exams with essays including Business in Society. Yes, lists like this are what the essays are about. Be ready to define the bullet points, give arguments for and against (these arguments are in the texts) and discuss. Although the TECEPs don't ask for specific examples I sometimes read the company info/case studies to fully understand situations I may not have run across during my career. It enables me to form a more fully realized answer during the essays.

You can do this!
