This course is designed to help students gain knowledge of the fundamental principles and
theories of strategy and business model to understand the competitive forces facing a firm,
to assess the attractiveness of the industry, and to identify potential sources of competitive
advantage and disadvantage of a firm from the point of view of the practicing general
manager. The key focus of this course is on the creation and maintenance of the long-term
health of the entire firm or a major division of a corporation. As such, this course is
concerned with strategic decisions, and with both the content of those decisions and the
process by which general managers position the businesses and allocate resources in the
face of competition and uncertainty. This means that this course stresses the determination
of strategic direction and the management of the strategic process.
