SAM 4700 - Managing Strategically in the Future
The course is intended to be a capstone course. The course centers around the theme that a company achieves sustained success if its managers (1) formulate an astute game plan (2) implement and execute the game plan with proficiency. The course will prove how and why doing an effective job of strategy formulation and strategy implementation produces good business performance. In studying the tasks of strategic management, the course will integrate the knowledge students have gained from previous courses. Strategic management requires dealing with many variables and situational factors at one time. The students will be able to weigh the pros and cons of what strategy entails: a total enterprise perspective and a talent of judging how all of the relevant factors add up to shape the actions needed to take place in a business.
