MBA 710 - Strategic Management

This course focuses on corporate-level and business-unit strategy formulation and implementation. It encourages a multi-functional ‘general management’ perspective that requires the integration and application of knowledge and techniques learned in previous courses. Topics covered include the relationship of organizations to their domestic and international environments, strategic leadership, formal and informal approaches to strategy formulation in uncertain environments, competitive analysis, the role of organizational structure and managerial systems in implementation, and mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of strategic decisions. The course also addresses ethical and legal issues associated with the strategic management process. Conceptual and analytical skills are developed through readings and lectures, with an emphasis on cases.
