MGMT 3004: Business Strategy [syllabus]
This undergraduate i-core course encourages students to analyze the problems of managing organizations in the domestic and international setting. We will focus on the competitive strategy of the firm, examining issues central to its long- and short-term competitive position. Students will solve problems related to the development or maintenance of the competitive advantage of the firm, and also develop their ability to assess an organization’s strategic situation, including: its current competitive situation, resources and capabilities, and the appropriateness of strategy given characteristics of the competitive environment, organizational objectives, and opportunities for creating and sustaining competitive advantage.

Strategic Management [syllabus]
Student Ratings: 4.2/5 Overall
This undergraduate core course focuses on how to create and sustain advantages in highly competitive business environments. We focus on analytical frameworks and techniques for evaluating business situations and for developing strategies to improve organizational chances of success. Specifically, we consider the scope of a firm’s activities, the markets the firm does and does not serve, the resources the firm deploys, the internal and external factors that determine the firm’s chances of success, and the relationship between strategy and competitive advantage. Students adopt the perspective of a general manager (e.g., of a business unit, a plant, a region, a division, a product line, an entire company) focused on long-term profitability. By considering business situations from the perspective of those who supervise work and lead employees, students are prepared to anticipate the most likely questions and concerns of senior executives making important business decisions.
