In the Module 3 Discussion, you used the Grand Strategy Selection Matrix (GSSM) to determine your selected organization’s grand strategy. After describing several of the most salient/notable characteristics of the culture of the organization you have selected for the SLP, respond to the following (Week 1):

1. Does the organization’s culture “fit” the grand strategy you selected in the Module 2 Discussion? Explain.
2. Even if the culture fits the strategy well, is there anything you would change in order to better ensure the success of the grand strategy you selected in the Module 2 Discussion?
3. Assuming that the culture does not fit the strategy well, what specifically would you change, and how would you go about doing so?
