Integrated Strategic Management

2 credits · Owen Graduate School of Management

Integrated Strategic Management (ISM) is centered around an advanced simulation. In this MBA capstone course, students collaborate in teams to transform a struggling start-up into a valuable enterprise prepared for an exit, such as a private equity sale, IPO, merger, or leveraged buyout (LBO). ISM enables students to integrate and apply knowledge from various disciplines simultaneously, offering a deep understanding of the complexities inherent in real-world business situations. Students will leverage concepts from microeconomics, operations, competitive strategy, financial accounting, managerial accounting, corporate finance, negotiations, marketing, managerial decision-making, and other areas within the Owen curriculum. Prerequisite: 2nd year MBA. [2]
