MBAK 618 Generating and Analyzing Strategic Options (5)


The course integrates and extends what has been learned throughout the program by developing strategy formulation skills. The process occurs at business, corporate, industry, and global strategy levels of analyses, culminating in the development of the grand strategy. Topics such as strategic alliances, joint ventures, and competitive and collaborative choices inform the class discussions. The course continues by requiring that students consider the relationship between strategy and organizational structure. Students are sensitized to the design issues and dynamic processes for bringing about effective implementation of strategy. Options for organizational structures (e.g., the virtual corporation) used to build core competencies are examined as ways that organizations can intersect with the future and anticipate and prepare for change are discussed.
