Welcome to Week Four
Organizational Strategy and Innovation
Weekly Content
This week our attention is going to be on managing the enterprise, i.e. the business itself. We'll start with a discussion of the different strategies that companies use both internally and externally then discuss ways that managers can implement and manage innovation within the enterprise.
Class Notes - The First Written Assignment
Our first written assignment was due last week. If you haven't turned it in, you definitely still have time. The University's late policy allows assignments to be submitted up to two weeks late for partial credit. I've entered 0's for all the missing assignments but, if you send me an email after you turn a late submission in, I'll update your grade and get you back up to speed.
Technical Issues
If you're having technical issues with accessing Blackboard or Aleks, you should contact the Strayer University help desk at 877.642.2999. If you're having issues once you're in Blackboard, e.g. uploading files, downloading files or viewing the grade book, you should contact the Blackboard help desk at 1.866.350.9427. I'll be glad to answer any questions you have about the course's content but faculty don't have the training or access to do any kind of tech support.

There are a number of ways for you to reach me during this course:

Office Hours
I will have three virtual office hours for each week of the course, with time allocated during the week to focus on the assignments and their due dates. I'll be available every Tuesday from 8:00 - 10:00 AM ET and from 8:00 - 9:00 PM ET and on Thursday from 8:00 - 10:00 PM ET.
Outside of those hours, Skype is the best way to get a hold of me. I'm usually online working in the afternoon and early evening so those are great times to get a hold of me if you have a quick question on a problem or assignment.
