Description

Advanced Strategic Management

The course involves students in debating multiple perspectives on each of the major strategy issues faced by managers. The debate draws on papers by leading strategic thinkers, and applies their ideas to contemporary business cases. The cases are international in scope, reflecting contemporary global business connectedness. The course covers strategy process, content, context and purpose.

The course has the dual objectives of preparing students to undertake strategy activity as reflective practitioners and providing the conceptual background needed for research in the strategy field.

This is one of three courses that comprise the Strategy and International Business core within the Honours programme. The other courses are MGMT441 Entrepreneurship and MGMT474 International Business. Previous study of MGMT320 would be helpful but is not essential for this course.
