Course Description
This module explores the principles of strategy and strategic management. It informs about strategy formulation, implementation and evaluation. With particular reference to contemporary demands on organisations, the module extends the perspective and respects strategic organisational needs on the one hand, but also how societal expectations are strategically met at the same time. It explains tools of strategic management and locates them within a larger cycle of planning and management. It therefore emphasises the need for holism and integration in responding to complex social and competitive challenges.
The module supports students’ understanding of strategic analysis as an essential part of the work of a manager at higher level. Key issues covered include designing a strategy respecting an organisation’s resources and capabilities, which define opportunities and limitations of strategic design. A further focus is on the differentiation between strategy, tactics and operations being necessary for delivering strategy and the implementation of strategy by securing alignment between key functions in the organisation, which leads to evaluating strategy as it unfurls and upon delivery.
