Corporate Strategy

(1.5 Credits)

This course builds on the foundation established in Strategy I, extending the study to consider how firms find and execute profitable growth. We will explore why firms may diversify into a range of businesses, why firms may choose to vertically integrate by producing key inputs for their final products, and how the governance of such multi-business firms is handled by senior leadership. While the underlying analytical perspective of Strategy I is a key component of this course, we also add concepts and frameworks to help you analyze and understand large or diversified, multi-business organizations.
