Here are the questions from a 3-hour strategy class exam from another un-named MBA program:
-----
1 - How should a corporation scan the external environment for new technological developments? Who should be responsible?
2 - What is technology research and how does it differ from market research?
3 - What is the importance of product and process R&D to competitive strategy?
4 - In terms of strategic management, how does a new venture’s situation differ form that of an ongoing small company?
5 - How should a small entrepreneurial company engage in environmental scanning? To what aspects of the environment should management pay most attention?
6 - What are the characteristics of an attractive industry from an entrepreneur’s point of view? What role does innovation play?
-----
Somehow I don't think our strategy class this semester prepared us for these types of questions... I don't think our strategy class this semester prepared us for much more than sleeping with our eyes open... (hence extra-curricular readings on the subject, see post below).
