Aims and Objectives
Strategic Management is the theory and practice of making decisions that shape the future of the firm. This course looks at the content and process of strategic decision making from the perspective of managers who are responsible for an entire business unit. These may be individuals who are acting in the capacity of a Chief Executive of a company, divisional General Managers, or departmental heads. It is also the perspective most often expected of students of management, who may be expected to deal with business situations from a wide range of perspectives as well as those involved in family owned businesses. The course will make it possible for students to:
* Appreciate the complexity of strategic decision making * Develop strategic analysis skills (environment, industry and organisation) * Comment on the strategy of an organisation and its competitive position
Teaching Format
The course will comprise 9 sessions including a final exam in session 9. In addition, students will be expected to devote an equivalent amount of learning time in private and group study to course material and the preparation of case studies for class discussion. The case based assessment will require additional group work in advance of the actual class sessions.
The course will be taught primarily through lectures (typically interactive) and case discussions. PLEASE BUY THE CASE PACKET WHICH CONTAINS ALL THE GROUP CASES (EXCEPT SWATCH) FROM THE BARNES AND NOBLE CAMPUS BOOKSTORE. Your group will be pre-assigned to a case that will need to be prepared for the appropriate session (see below in the assessment section).
