Objectives This course aims at developing strategic thinking in a global context. The main objectives of this course are: To introduce students to the domain of international strategy and global strategic management; To understand the processes of strategy formulation and their implementation in a global setting; To be aware of competing arguments behind a number of strategic approaches and to find criteria for choosing a specific strategy; To learn to work together, to discuss and to decide as a team.

Subject Utilizing a teaching approach that mixes cases and class discussions, students will learn key concepts and frameworks used in crafting and implementing global strategy. The reading will give you a broad picture of what global strategy is about. Furthermore, this course will provide students with the opportunity to sharpen the written and oral presentation competencies. The course contains regular case teaching sessions and competitive case sessions. Preparatory questions will be assigned along with all teaching case sessions. Students are expected to analyze the case within their working group before coming to class and to prepare a Power Point presentation summarizing their key findings. The slides form the basis for the discussion of the cases in the class. In each of two competitive case sessions, two groups (thus, competing session) will be asked to present their case analysis and strategic recommendation for the case at hand. Students will also need to provide a written case analysis before the presentation, which will be made public to the group for comments and discussion.
