Strategic Management

Strategic management takes the perspective of the general manager who is involved with managing an entire business unit. One of the most important notions which will be developed in this course is that of competitive advantage. Competitive advantage has complex origins and cannot be sustainable unless its sources can be protected from duplication and imitation.
The course focuses on the fundamental conditions that permit a firm to conceive, develop and sustain a superior strategic position. The course provides an opportunity to develop approaches to general management based on an integration of multi-functional and administrative perspectives. As the course develops, participants will practice the application of concepts, tools, and approaches developed in the various readings and during the class discussions.
