Why are some organizations more successful than others? Can we identify the roots of superior performance and devise ways to leverage the drivers of success? Strategic management enables us to understand the attractiveness and dynamics of industries, the drivers of competitive advantage, as well as the value propositions required to deliver and capture value. In the process of creating, delivering, and capturing value, organizations also affect the well-being of society. As such, strategic management also requires an assessment of the social responsibility and environment sustainability provided by organizations through their strategies. Strategic management is of relevance not only to profit-seeking corporations, but also for non-profit organizations, public agencies, supra-national organizations and countries as a whole. This course examines how organizations select markets, compete with each other, and organize themselves internally to produce successful outcomes. As part of this, the implications for sustainability are an integral consideration.
