Learn how to analyze an organization's strategy and make recommendations to improve its value creation by building your strategist's toolkit.
Week Four: We will learn how to analyze competitive dynamics; the interplay between businesses as industries evolve. Will include a case discussion of the game player industry.
Week Five: We will combine our learnings to date to determine how an organization best positions itself competitively to create value. Will include a case discussion of Piaggio.
Week Six: We will extend our analysis to consider how businesses compete in multiple markets and will learn how to analyze firm scope. Will include a case discussion of Disney.
The class is divided into weekly modules. Each weekly module consists of an introductory video, a reading from the strategist's toolkit, a series of video lectures, a quiz, and a case where will apply our toolkit to a business to illustrate points in the lectures. The course will culminate in your submission of a strategic analysis of an organization of your choosing. This will serve as your final exam.
