-500 words in total plus 3 job adverts

1. In your own words, and using referenced quotes, describe the similarities and differences between business strategy and military strategy.*
2. Find three current strategy job adverts (they should have strategy in the job title). Summarise the skills and traits that they seem to have in common e.g. ‘strong numeracy skills’ or ‘enthusiasm’. What kind of skills and traits do you need for a strategy role? You should include copies of the adverts with your submission.

*You should demonstrate evidence of academic reading from strategy text books or academic journal articles and use Harvard referencing.
