You are required to articulate your post-graduation strategy
within the overall strategic management process. This includes internal
analysis of your mission, vision, and objectives, analysis of your own
strengths and weaknesses, understanding of your resources and capabilities as
well as an external analysis investigating opportunities and threats. Once the
background summary is developed, formulation of your own personal strategy
begins with an assessment of your unique values, risk tolerance levels,
alliances, strategic vehicles, network availability, preferred industries, and
available corporate business models. The implementation will be in the
strategic actions that you will put into effect prior to graduation.
