BUS445 Ashford University Week 3 Process Management Tools Discussion

/in /by

Additional guidance:

Good work with your discussions. You are showing a great deal of knowledge and critical thought with your responses. Continue to use the text to provide you the operational definition of the concepts you discuss. When you define the topic, you can use the definition to guide you to the correct response.

Just like the previous discussions, it is much easier if you choose a specific management process to explain the role suppliers and inputs have. The field is so broad, if you do not choose a specific process, you will get lost in a vague, overgeneralized explanation of nothing.

It is a best practice to use an example in your area of expertise. Send me a note if you require assistance.
