4、related to the total business environment.This is an integrative course designed to acquaint you with the tools and techniques of strategic management, while enabling you to develop skills in strategic planning and decision-making. While many of the concepts discussed in the course will be familiar
5、to you, you may find the perspective of this course is different from what you have experienced in your previous courses. The goal of Strategic Management is the formulation and implementation of value-creating strategies that permit companies (i.e., middle and senior management) to obtain and, if p
6、ossible, sustain competitive advantages. Most students find Strategic Management to be a time-consuming, yet highly rewarding, course. Do not be surprised if you find yourself putting forth more effort in this course than in any other course you have previously taken. You should reasonably expect to

8、 education. COURSE OBJECTIVES and METHODOLOGYThe main objective of this course is to teach you, the student, to think critically and act strategically. More specifically, the course objectives include: To develop your capacity to think strategically about a company, its business position, how it can

10、hands-on experience on developing and evaluating strategic options, making strategic decisions, and figuring out how to implement them effectively; To integrate the knowledge gained in earlier core courses in the business school curriculum; To make you more conscious about the importance of ethical
11、principles, personal and company values, and socially responsible management practices; and, To help you develop confidence in being able to present your ideas in a logical and persuasive manner.The discussion method is used in this class. While I may conduct a lecture occasionally, the format of th
12、is course requires each student to proactively and substantially participate in a lively, engaging discussion with the professor and fellow classmates. For each class, I will ask a “lead-off” question, and expect you to be able to answer the question or share insight on what has been studied prior t
13、o class. Thus, you must prepare for each class session by reading chapters and cases, and by completing assignments prior to class. The best way to prepare for each class discussion is to read the chapter a few times and prepare responses to questions within and at the end of each chapter. Your part
14、icipation during class discussions is also essential for success in this course, for your class participation grade will reflect such participation.COURSE RESOURCESREQUIRED TEXTSStrategic Management in Action by Mary Coulter (2nd Edition, 2001).
