...Assessment 2 Topic: The effectiveness of the Strategic Management Practices of the Organization. Company Name: Heineken 1. Introduction: Competitive advantage is a common word in business world. Organizations practice Strategic Management, which consists analysis, decisions & actions to create & sustain competitive advantages. It contains two essential sides to get in to the main perspective of Strategic Management. First, strategic management is an ongoing process, which are analysis, decisions & actions. It is mainly focused on analysis of strategic goals- vision, mission & objectives with the internal & external environment of the organization. Afterward, comes the decision making process. The higher authority needs to take all the strategic decisions. In this level, two important questions arise. What industries should we compete in & how should we compete in those industries? After sort out these questions, action must be taken accordingly. Second task is to analyse why & how some firms outperform others.

...Chapter One: Introduction 1.0 Background of Study Most of us grew up believing in dream big about the future ahead. We believed we could do anything or become anything we wanted with dedication and hard work, but for many in this country the big dream about the future is fading as the gap between rich and poor continues to grow. Children were told that if they studied hard they could “make something of themselves.” While this is still true, the rules have changed and the stakes are higher. Governments have decreased aid for public education and set spending caps. Students today are being faced with “high stakes” testing. We used to worry about scoring high enough on examinations to get into college, but now students take examinations to get out of high school. Some policy makers, during sometime, have suggested a school’s funding will be determined by how well their students perform on the tests. In theory it is wonderful, the schools that do well will be rewarded for their excellence. In practice it will most likely become another opportunity for the rich school districts to succeed and the poor school districts to fail. Revenue caps and high stakes testing appear to be an inevitable part of our future so we must find affordable, effective means for inspiring students and their families to improve student outcome. One way may be parental involvement. Another way might be to teach effective parenting skills which could in turn increase parental involvement in education particularly...
