This paper is a reflection on three simulations as each relates to strategic planning. The first simulation‚ “Thinking Strategically‚” highlights the importance of environmental scanning. The second simulation‚ “Developing Grand Strategies‚” challenged decisions made for a company which lead to effective strategy formulation and choices.
