Strategic management is a purposeful endeavour concerned with long-term direction and performance for a firm or organisation. The course involves students in presenting analysis and proposing solutions to strategy issues in major New Zealand and international businesses. Course content includes strategic analysis, business and corporate strategy, and strategy implementation.
The primary objective of the course is to develop students’ ability to apply strategic management techniques to business problems. A key part of this is the ability to debate and clearly express a viewpoint on strategic issues faced by businesses. The resulting skills and understanding will support graduates’ effectiveness in a variety of roles within organisations.

The Department assumes that you have read this document. You should also read the “Information related to courses and assessment” on page 372 of the Enrolment Handbook 2009 (also in UC Calendar under “General Course and Examination Regulations”).Dishonest Practice:The University of Canterbury considers cheating and plagiarism to be serious acts of dishonesty. All assessed work must be your own individual work unless specifically stated otherwise in the assessment guidelines. Material quoted from any other source must be clearly acknowledged. You must not copy the work of another person (student or published work) in any assessment including examinations, tests and assignments. Any person who is found to have copied someone else's work, or to have allowed their work to be copied, will receive a fail grade for that piece of assessment and may face disciplinary action which may lead to a fine, community service or exclusion from the University.Use of Turnitin:Turnitin will be used in this course. Turnitin is a software tool that checks the originality of a piece of text – it can be used to detect plagiarism. An example of plagiarism is copying exactly from a book or website without placing quotation marks around it and including the reference details in your Reference List. Your individual assignment will need to be submitted electronically as well as in printed form – instructions on how to do this will be available on the Blackboard site for the course. Use of the Turnitin service is subject to the terms and conditions posted on Turnitin.com.Grading:The grade cutoffs used in this course are shown below.
