Catalog 2024-2025

MGT 431 Practical Strategic Assessment

MGT 431 fosters a “total enterprise mindset,” utilizing skills and knowledge gained from prior coursework. It centers on the strategic assessment of a Tampa Bay organization. This semester-long real-world assessment serves as a culminating experience that challenges students' capabilities in critical thinking, creativity, communications, and teamwork. While internal resources and competencies are foundational to organizational strategies, the potential impact of external influences from the general, industry, and competitive environments must be considered. Analyses and recommendations require students to utilize inquiry modes and perspectives from both non-business disciplines in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences (at least 2 of 3) and business disciplines.
