Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
This course focuses on the strategic challenges confronting firms that operate in the global economy. A firm s strategy is its "theory" of how to gain competitive advantage and compete successfully in the marketplace and strategic management is the process that managers, especially executives, use to develop and implement a firm& s strategy. Our objective is to have an enhanced understanding of the most fundamental question in strategic management: What determines the international success and failure of companies?
