Draft a headline which answers the question: What would we like to read as the headline about this organization/company on this date in the year 2037?
Toolbox Exercise – Future Headline and Vision Statement
NOTE REGARDING TOOLBOX EXERCISES – These exercises are meant to be cumulative in nature. Each week we will perform an exercise that will serve as the foundation for your Strategic Plan and Final Presentation. Your frame of reference for these exercises should be the shoe company you manager on the Business Simulation Game.
The Toolbox Exercise for Session 2 may seem rather simple but it can be a task in which teams struggle reaching consensus. So, take your time and collaborate. This way you’ll come up with a product everyone will agree upon. Remember, this is another piece of the puzzle that will be your Strategic Plan and Final Presentation. Here is what your team needs to do:
· Draft a headline which answers the question: What would we like to read as the headline about this organization/company on this date in the year 2037?
· Based upon this headline, craft your company’s Vision Statement.
· Later in the strategic management process, refer back to this headline. The strategies are the “how” to achieve the headline.
· Submit the Vision Statement in the discussion area of the Virtual Team Page.
· Have your group facilitator submit the Vision Statement to this assignment dropbox.

Explain how the food banks improved efficiency by creating a market system to allocate food.
https://www.npr.org/2020/07/15/891488686/summer-school-2-markets-pickles
Listen this 31 minutes podcast and answer the questions. No need to use formal words.
1. Explain how the food banks improved efficiency by creating a market system to allocate food.
2. Each food bank was given “money” (shares) based on need and number of clients served. How does that differ from how a real market works, and what effect does that have on distribution/allocation? Which method do you think is better?
3. One main topic of the podcast is whether market forces are the best way to allocate scarce resources. A major debate going on these days is how much market forces should be used in allocating resources in education (for example should all schools be private) and health care (other wealthy nations have national health care, not the largely private system we use the US). Choose one of these areas (education or health care) and briefly explain why you think markets should or should not be used.
