1. Rumelt: What's one takeaway from your group discussion?
One takeaway from my group discussion today was that good strategy not only has to be focused on building on one’s strengths, but also targeting competitors weaknesses which up until our reading and discussion I had not really thought about very much. 2. AmEx: Your grandma is thinking about purchasing shares of American Express stock. What's one insight you can share with her based on case discussion this week? One insight that I can share with her based on the case discussion this week would be about the innovation that American Express is interested in pursuing and how that could help them capture more of the market and turn out to be a good investment for my grandma. 3. On a scale from 1-5, how would you rate your own engagement with class this week? (1= I barely paid
attention; 5= I engaged deeply). What caused this engagement/rating? What can you do differently going
forward to maintain and/or increase your level of engagement?
I would rate my engagement in class this week as a 5 as I was actively engaged and participating and was prepared for this week's class. Going forward I will continue to prepare the way I have for this week's class. I will just be more thorough and turn in my preparation questions on time.
