Competitive Strategy is designed to help students learn about the nature of business, and the principled leadership and governance of firms. This course focuses on the formulation of business-level strategy to help students gain a practical understanding of how the functions (finance, marketing, accounting, operations, human resources, etc.) are aligned with business-level strategy to support the mission, goals and objectives of a firm. Major questions explored in this course include: Why are some industries more profitable than others? Why do some firms consistently outperform others? How can a firm build and sustain a competitive advantage? A variety of industry contexts and firms will be used to illustrate the application of the analytical tools and frameworks covered in the course to any type of firm, including for-profits, non-profits and not-for-profits. Pre-requisite: None.
