MMGT6001: Strategy
2025 unit information
How can managers understand their environment, industry, resources and capabilities to achieve business success? This unit explores different levels of strategy, including corporate and business-level strategy. Strategy is, fundamentally, about making choices and deliberately choosing to be different. Strategic management seeks to understand how these choices and differences can (and sometimes cannot) create sustainable and exceptional value for shareholders, customers, employees and other related stakeholders. Questions addressed include: How can market opportunities be reviewed and understood? How can creativity be harnessed to generate strategic options? How does a firm build and develop resources and capabilities in a global and local competitive environment? When is collaboration preferable to competition? The unit highlights the challenges of strategic decision making as well as implementation. Insights from innovation theory and practice are integrated throughout the unit.
