Strategic Thinking and Analysis

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

Strategic management is focused on how to create and sustain advantages in highly competitive business environments. This course is intended to introduce strategic management through a combination of theory and relevant case studies. Students will learn qualitative and quantitative analytical frameworks for evaluating industry determinants of success and for formulating strategies that enable one's organization to be more successful than competitors. Specific topics that will be covered include industry factors, positioning, game theory, and competitive advantage.
