This final module introduces theories of firm strategy,
discussing the strategy process, the main characteristics of global
strategies, implementation of strategies, networks, strategic
alliances and intellectual capital. A main topic of discussion will
be the implications on strategy of the increasing globalisation of
international markets. The module is a primer on theories of
strategy with examples from globally oriented firms. The module
also serves as an introduction to the integrating strategy project,
with sessions on how to conduct a proper industry
analysis.

combine lectures, discussions, group work and case presentations.
Participants are requested to read the compulsory reading
identified in the programme. Overall the teaching format relies
heavily on the integration of real issues from participants and
other companies. |
