Synopsis
This course focuses on strategic analysis, strategic capabilities and internal and external dynamics from a resource-based perspective. The course introduces students to an outside-in approach to examine how organisations analyse the environment by assessing the key success factors (KSFs) of an industry. It next uses an inside-out approach to analyse internal capabilities. It does this by matching the internal capabilities to the KSFs required to achieve sustained competitive advantage. The course assessment follows these processes by asking students to develop a range of strategies after reviewing the combined capabilities available. The course content adopts a critical stance at both the business and corporate level but also assesses the structure and systems required to support strategy including financial analysis. In this sense, the course builds on much prior knowledge in other management, economic, financial and technical courses.
