BA 799H- Strategy Formulation and Implementation
This course is about the creation and maintenance of a long term vision for the organization. It is concerned with both the determination of the strategic direction of the firm and the management of the strategic process. The course builds on your prior studies of functional areas while recognizing that most real business problems are inherently multi-functional in nature. Thus, this course employs an explicitly integrative approach in which we endeavor to explore and reconcile the tensions that accompany management decisions. In doing so, we will adopt the role of the general manager who has the responsibility for the long-term health of the entire organization (or a sub-unit within the organization).
