| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
The central theme of this course is the strategy of the firm.
The course introduces students to the basics of the field of
strategic management by providing an understanding of theories and
frameworks of the field and outlining how to apply them to
real-life business cases. Business cases are centered around, among
others, the European business environment.
The course will emphasize open discussions and use a mixture of
theory and case studies to engage students in the
classroom.
|
| Description of the teaching methods |
| The course is organized as a combination of
theory-based pre-recorded and live lectures and live case-based
exercise sessions. The teaching philosophy of the course is to
discuss applications of theoretical approaches and perspectives
introduced in the lectures to real company cases, which include
also European firms. All students will be allocated to different
exercise groups that will go through the same case study exercise.
During the exercise sessions, groups of students will be asked to
give a presentation of their analysis of the assigned case to the
class. The exercise sessions are interactive and active
participation in these sessions is expected. It is, therefore,
essential that all students read the accompanying cases and
literature prior to the exercise class. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
Students will receive feedback 1) through online
quizzes and 2) during the exercise classes. None of these are
mandatory, but function as exam preparation. Attendance and active
participation will also secure continuous feedback. Faculty staff
teaching the course will be available during office hours for the
duration of the course.
