- Class Description:
Although a great deal is known about strategy formulation and planning, many strategic plans fail to achieve their full potential due to problems and issues surrounding strategy implementation and execution. Therefore, in order to address these issues, this course will focus on strategy implementation, as well as highlight the decisions, actions and conditions that facilitate the successful attainment of strategic goals.
In addition, due to the fact that many managers face high-stake challenges in their roles as shapers and implementers of strategy, we will adopt the perspective of the general manager. In doing so, we will focus on ensuring the long-term strategic success of the organization, the proper positioning of the firm, articulating the vision, and creating a culture designed to achieve competitive advantages.
Finally, because strategic management is not easily dichotomized into strategy formulation and strategy implementation categories, we will not study it as such. Rather, we shall use an ‘Organizational- Process-Leadership' approach in order to examine how successful strategy is shaped, how it can be implemented, and how leaders must continually renew the strategy and organization to meet ongoing competitive challenges.- Who Should Take This Class?:
