Description Strategy evaluation and formulation is an essential task within all organisations, domestic and international, which requires the analysis of complex information. This module introduces students to the tools, theories and concepts of strategic management, with a focus on international businesses. It allows students to develop an understanding of the internal and external environments of firms, and critically assess their strategies as well as propose and evaluate strategic options. By learning how to analyse firm strategy, students will gain insight into how firms strive to achieve and maintain competitive advantage, and what makes some companies more successful than others.
