This course introduces you to the key principles of strategic
management. The first four sessions focus on strategic analysis,
covering the historical foundations of the subject. This includes
business model analysis, market analysis, positioning, resources
& capabilities, competitive advantage and strategic innovation.
In the process, we will analyze and use some of the classic
strategy tools and models. The subsequent sessions proceed to
introduce and discuss contemporary topics in strategy. This
includes topics such as competitive interactions, platform
strategies, organizational structure and creativity, and evaluating
novelty. The course gives an overview of the field and provides you
with the tools and insights to rigorously analyze a company’s
strategy and develop one yourself.
