This course follows directly on from Strategic Analysis of Business and will utilise and build onto the knowledge and experience gained during the autumn term. There will be less explicit emphasis on analysis and more focus on selecting options as gateways to the future, the role of the board and middle managers and management innovation in organisations.
It will be delivered in modular form over one week and involves lectures, class discussions and case presentations. Teams will also take part in a live case and provide recommendations on future strategy to the company directors.
