(I’m curious as to how you feel Emotional Intelligence plays into the art of being a CEO – is it important, and why or why not?) Summarize and expand on Chapter #3 of the textbook (External Analysis), and explain why you think Porter or PESTEL is important (think about it: Porter is an economist, so he looks at the world of business by examining industries; so do you think his five forces model makes sense, or serves as a fundamental platform for CEOs to use to analyze their firm’s strategic position)?
