BSAD 8570 EFFECTIVE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT (2 credits)
This course centers around the theme that a company achieves sustained success if and only if its managers (1) develop, and revise as needed, an action-oriented strategic plan and (2) implement and execute the plan with some proficiency. Students will develop the strategic thinking skills needed to formulate and execute successful strategies for firms/organizations in a variety of industries and dynamic environments. Emphasis is given to the contributions of several business disciplines of study, such as marketing, finance and management, to understanding both the internal operations of the organization and the influences of the external environment. This course is integrative and introduces both the theory and practice that enables that integrative process.
Prerequisite(s): Admission to the Executive MBA program or the Executive Certificate in Business. Not open to non-degree graduate students.
