For this Assignment, refer to the organization you selected in Week 1, and identify the organization’s strategies and business goals. In addition, research the organization’s activities and consider how activities align with the long-term strategies and business goals.

Since many organizations do not make their strategic plans widely available, you may need to deduce the organization’s strategies and business goals by reviewing 10-k forms, websites, and/or transcripts of quarterly earnings calls with the media, or through your own organizational awareness and/or communications as an employee of this organization.
