Detailed Curriculum Breakdown and Knowledge Assessment
This section contains the full detail of the ten listed course outlines, followed by ten test questions for each topic. Note that for the final submission, you will only be required to answer one question from each of the ten sections.
1. Inertia and the Status Quo: Introduction to Newton’s First Law
Detail: Newton’s First Law, the Law of Inertia, states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. In an organization, this explains the rigidity of the status quo. Organizational Mass is the total complexity—the bureaucracy, culture, historic processes, and entrenched opinions—that resists outside input. Leaders must first identify the extent of this inertia before any change initiative (Force) is launched. A massive organization requires a proportionally massive Force to initiate movement.
10 Assessment Questions (Select 1 for Submission):
Define organizational inertia and provide three examples of how it manifests in a corporate environment.
How does an organization’s size (mass) correlate with the level of inertia experienced?
If an organization has been operating under the same business model for 20 years, what level of internal force would be required to shift its operational direction?
Explain the difference between static inertia (resistance to starting) and kinetic inertia (resistance to changing direction while already moving).
Identify a technology or process that, once implemented, acts as a new form of organizational inertia.
What is the role of cultural norms in establishing organizational inertia?
In the context of the First Law, what constitutes a valid "external force" that can overcome corporate stagnation?
How can small, incremental ‘forces’ effectively overcome very high organizational mass over time?
Describe a scenario where leadership fails to recognize or account for organizational inertia, and detail the probable outcome.
What metrics can an executive use to quantify the current level of inertia within their department?
2. Force, Mass, and Acceleration: The Strategic Equation (Newton’s Second Law)
Detail: The Second Law, $F=ma$ (Force equals Mass times Acceleration), is the cornerstone of dynamic organizational planning. Force ($F$) represents strategic investment (capital, talent acquisition, marketing spend). Mass ($m$) is the organizational size and complexity. Acceleration ($a$) is the desired growth rate (e.g., increased revenue, market share growth). This law dictates that if you want high acceleration with high mass, the required force must be immense. Alternatively, if the available force is limited, highly massive organizations must accept slow acceleration. Executives use this equation to determine if resources are sufficient to meet growth targets.
10 Assessment Questions (Select 1 for Submission):
If an organization with a "mass" of 500 units aims for an "acceleration" (growth rate) of 10 units, what "force" (resource allocation) is required?
Define the three components of $F=ma$ in a purely strategic business context.
How might a smaller, more agile (low mass) competitor achieve greater market acceleration than a massive legacy corporation?
Discuss the concept of "wasted force" when strategic resources are applied inefficiently or inconsistently.
If a planned marketing budget (Force) must be cut by 25%, how must the organization adjust its mass or acceleration goals to maintain the equation's balance?
In a change management project, what tangible elements constitute the ‘mass’ of the project environment?
Explain why focusing force on reducing ‘mass’ (e.g., streamlining processes) can be more effective than simply increasing ‘force’ (spending).
Provide a real-world business example of Newton’s Second Law in action (e.g., a specific product launch).
If you achieve zero acceleration ($a=0$) despite applying significant force, what does this mathematically imply about your mass?
What is the executive significance of the fact that force is a vector quantity (having magnitude and direction)?
3. Action and Market Reaction: Understanding Newton’s Third Law
Detail: Newton’s Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In business, this governs market feedback, competitive responses, and regulatory backlash. Any significant strategic action—a price cut, a major acquisition, or a shift in focus—will generate a reaction of equal magnitude from the market or competitors. Successful executives anticipate this reaction force and either mitigate its impact or leverage it to their advantage. Ignoring the reaction results in strategic instability.
10 Assessment Questions (Select 1 for Submission):
Describe a scenario where a company’s ‘action’ (e.g., aggressive expansion) resulted in an ‘equal and opposite reaction’ from its competitor.
How does the Third Law explain the principle of competitive equilibrium in a mature market?
If Firm A cuts prices drastically (Action), what constitutes the reaction force from its primary customers and shareholders?
What measure can a leader take to ensure the reaction force to their strategic action is absorbed internally rather than damaging the external market position?
Explain the Third Law in the context of public relations and reputational damage following a corporate scandal (Action).
Provide an example of a successful business strategy that effectively anticipated and leveraged the reaction of its target audience.
Why is proactive risk assessment fundamentally an application of anticipating the Third Law?
If a government introduces new compliance standards (Action), what typical ‘equal and opposite’ reactions occur within major industries?
In team dynamics, how does the Third Law explain resistance or pushback to mandatory new procedures introduced by management?
How can feedback loops in product development be visualized as a continuous series of Third Law actions and reactions?
4. Momentum Conservation: Sustaining Growth Trajectories
Detail: Momentum ($P$) is defined as mass times velocity ($P=mv$). In business, Momentum is the stored power resulting from sustained organizational success. High momentum means the company has both significant scale (Mass) and rapid growth (Velocity). The Law of Conservation of Momentum states that momentum remains constant unless an external impulse (a sudden shock, disruption, or opportunity) intervenes. Executives focused on sustained success aim to conserve and strategically increase organizational momentum, ensuring that minor setbacks do not halt forward progress entirely.
10 Assessment Questions (Select 1 for Submission):
Define organizational momentum and explain how it differs from simple market share (Mass).
If Firm A has low mass but extremely high market velocity (rapid growth), how does its momentum compare to Firm B with high mass but low velocity?
What strategic steps can a leader take to conserve momentum during a challenging economic downturn?
Describe an "external impulse" that could drastically alter a company's conserved momentum.
In supply chain management, what factors contribute to the "velocity" component of the supply chain’s momentum?
Why is it more difficult for a high-momentum organization to pivot quickly than a low-momentum organization?
Explain how successful brand recognition contributes to organizational momentum.
If two companies merge (combining masses), what must happen to the combined velocity to conserve the total system momentum?
How can poor cash flow management undermine organizational velocity, even if mass remains high?
Provide an example of a product or service that lost momentum due to failing to adapt to market changes.
5. Friction and Drag: Identifying and Reducing Organizational Resistance
Detail: Friction is a force that opposes motion. In physics, it reduces efficiency; in an organization, friction and drag represent crippling inefficiencies: excessive bureaucracy, internal conflicts, complex reporting structures, and slow decision-making. These forces do not contribute to acceleration but instead dissipate force as wasted "heat" (lost profitability, employee burnout). Effective leadership involves diagnosing and minimizing sources of internal friction to maximize the effectiveness of applied strategic force ($F$).
10 Assessment Questions (Select 1 for Submission):
Identify three common forms of bureaucratic friction found in large organizations.
How does inter-departmental conflict act as a source of internal organizational drag?
If Force $F$ is applied to an organization, but only $50%$ results in acceleration, where did the remaining $50%$ likely go?
Explain how excessive meetings or reporting requirements create systemic friction.
In the context of physics, what is the business equivalent of reducing surface roughness to decrease friction?
What role does clear communication play in minimizing operational drag?
Describe how resistance to adopting new technology contributes to technological friction within a company.
If friction is high, what must be done to the applied Force $F$ just to maintain constant velocity (zero acceleration)?
How can decentralized decision making help reduce organizational friction?
Provide an example of how a leader successfully implemented a strategy to reduce administrative friction.
6. Work, Energy, and Power: Resource Allocation and Executive Output
Detail: Work ($W$) is the transfer of energy, calculated as Force times Distance ($W=Fd$). In business, Work is measured by the successful execution of tasks (distance moved) resulting from strategic investment (force applied). Energy is the capacity to do work (capital, human talent, goodwill). Power ($P$) is the rate at which work is done ($P=W/t$), representing organizational efficiency and speed of execution. High Power requires doing significant work in minimal time—a key metric for agile executive performance.
10 Assessment Questions (Select 1 for Submission):
Define "Work" (W) in the context of completing a large-scale strategic project.
If two teams apply the same Force, but one achieves greater "distance" (results), which team performed more Work?
Explain the relationship between financial capital and the concept of "potential energy" in a startup.
How is organizational "Power" measured in terms of market output?
Why is high Power essential for maintaining a competitive advantage in fast-moving industries?
If an executive spends three months developing a strategy (time), what business metric represents the "Work" accomplished?
How does leveraging technology enhance the "Power" output of a fixed number of employees?
Discuss the concept of ‘energy dissipation’ in resource allocation—where energy is wasted without resulting in productive work.
What is the executive risk of prioritizing high Force without considering the Power (speed and efficiency) required?
Provide an example of a business scenario where high energy was available but little work was accomplished.
7. Circular Dynamics: Customer Loyalty and Feedback Loops
Detail: Circular motion is governed by centripetal force—the inward force required to keep an object moving in a circle. In business, this is the force of customer loyalty, keeping clients rotating around the brand (the center). If this centripetal loyalty force is insufficient, the customer will fly off tangent to the market—a lost client. Effective customer relationship management (CRM) and quality control provide this necessary inward force, while feedback loops act as the continuous monitor of the rotational trajectory.
10 Assessment Questions (Select 1 for Submission):
Define the business equivalent of "centripetal force" required for customer retention.
If a customer "flies off tangent," what business event (force failure) has occurred?
How do reward programs and loyalty schemes physically represent centripetal force?
Explain the concept of "tangential velocity" in terms of how quickly a customer might switch to a competitor.
Why is consistency in service delivery crucial for maintaining the "circular dynamics" of customer loyalty?
Describe how a product recall (negative shock) temporarily reduces the centripetal force holding customers.
How do continuous market feedback loops help adjust the applied centripetal (loyalty) force?
In managing a portfolio of products, how does risk diversification prevent the entire system from flying apart?
Provide an example where a competitor successfully exerted an external, disruptive force that broke a competitor's circular customer dynamic.
What is the chief danger of applying too much force (over-marketing) in a circular dynamic?
8. The Center of Mass: Core Competencies and Strategic Focus
Detail: The Center of Mass is the single point where the system's entire mass effectively resides. In an organization, the Center of Mass represents the core competencies, key value propositions, and primary focus areas. Strategic stability is achieved when the Center of Mass is clearly identified and consistently maintained. If an organization attempts too many initiatives (spreading the mass too thin), the Center of Mass becomes unstable, leading to an inability to apply Force effectively, resulting in strategic wobbling or collapse.
10 Assessment Questions (Select 1 for Submission):
Define the “Center of Mass” for a technology startup specializing in AI software.
Why is a company with a clearly defined Center of Mass more stable during economic turbulence?
If an organization constantly shifts its strategic focus, what phenomenon is occurring regarding its Center of Mass?
How does outsourcing non-core functions help consolidate and stabilize the organizational Center of Mass?
Identify a historical example of a major corporation that failed because it lost sight of its core competencies (Center of Mass).
What role does clear mission and vision documentation play in defining the Center of Mass?
Explain why applying a Force far away from the Center of Mass is inefficient for achieving overall system acceleration.
How can key leadership appointments reinforce the company’s Center of Mass?
When two organizations merge, what is the strategic challenge associated with locating the new, combined Center of Mass?
If the Mass is heavily concentrated in one product line, how does this affect the organization’s overall vulnerability?
9. Terminal Velocity: Limits to Growth and Market Saturation
Detail: Terminal Velocity is the maximum speed an object can achieve when the force of drag or air resistance equals the force driving the motion (e.g., gravity). In business, Terminal Velocity represents market saturation—the point where growth (velocity) slows because external resistance (competition, high market penetration) equals the strategic force being applied. Executives must recognize when they are nearing terminal velocity in one market and strategize the movement of resources (mass) into new, less resistant markets.
10 Assessment Questions (Select 1 for Submission):
Define "Terminal Velocity" in the context of market growth for a specific product.
What are the business indicators that an organization is approaching Terminal Velocity in its current market?
What is the equivalent of "air resistance" (drag) that causes a company's market growth to plateau?
Discuss two different strategies a company can employ once Terminal Velocity is reached in its primary market.
Explain why continuously applying more Force (spending more) will not increase velocity once Terminal Velocity has been attained.
How does innovation in product use help temporarily break the Terminal Velocity constraint?
In a highly saturated market, how can an executive determine the exact point where acceleration ceased (the point of Terminal Velocity)?
Provide a historical example of a company that successfully avoided Terminal Velocity through radical diversification.
What organizational risk is associated with ignoring the signs of impending Terminal Velocity?
How does a monopoly situation potentially defer the onset of Terminal Velocity?
10. Gravitational Influence: External Factors and Regulatory Bodies
Detail: Gravitational Influence represents external, non-negotiable forces that universally affect all ‘masses’ (organizations) within a region. These forces include powerful regulatory bodies, national legislative frameworks, economic indicators, and political stability. Executives must calculate the constant, pervasive down-pull of these influences, as they affect operational costs and strategic freedom. While gravity cannot be reversed, its effects can be managed through compliance, lobbying, and strategic geographical diversification.
10 Assessment Questions (Select 1 for Submission):
Identify three specific examples of "Gravitational Influence" (external forces) that affect all businesses in Nigeria.
How does the concept of ‘Gravitational Potential Energy’ relate to unused access to capital markets?
Explain why Gravitational Influence (regulation) affects a large multinational corporation (high mass) more significantly than a small local startup.
How can a company mitigate the constant ‘down-pull’ of powerful adverse government policies?
Discuss the strategic benefit of lobbying in the context of managing Gravitational Influence.
If the local currency collapses, what form of Gravitational Influence is impacting the business ecosystem?
Why must Gravitational Influence be accounted for before initiating any major strategic action (Force)?
In global operations, how does country-specific risk analysis serve as an assessment of local Gravitational Influence?
Provide an example of a major industry that was fundamentally reshaped by a change in Gravitational Influence (e.g., new environmental laws).
Define the difference between constant Gravitational Influence and a sudden external Impulse.
