EXEC71-021: Strategy Analysis and Design

Description

Crafting an organisational strategy is a complex and unending challenge. In this subject you will examine the tools and theoretical frameworks required to make decisions in dynamic and uncertain business environments. Integrating executive experience and utilising case study analysis to tackle external issues and internal aspects of the firm, you will learn techniques to assess the competitive value of an organisation. The analysis of strategic alliances and the integration of performance measures into the strategic process are also explored. A critical aspect of this subject is the introduction of scenario planning, a foresight methodology that will enable you to assess the long-term viability of the firm amidst a changing external environment.
