MGT 4800J - Business Strategy
Intended to be a challenging and exciting capstone course for the undergraduate business curriculum. It is first and foremost a course about “strategy” and about “managing for success”. The course is centered on the theme that a company achieves sustained success if and only if its managers effectively formulate and implement an astute strategy. We will explore how and why doing a good job of strategy formulation and strategy implementation produces good business performance. The course will also integrate much of the knowledge gained in the business core curriculum, pulling together the multiple disciplines that you have taken in the core.
