On successful completion of this course, the students will be able to:
- LO1: Compare insights on dynamic complexity from different literatures. [cognitive/analytical]
- LO2: Apply relevant theory to different cases, contexts, and fields. [cognitive/analytical]

This course is concerned with the important challenges of strategic management in dynamic and complex environments. Students will develop an in-depth understanding of the central mechanisms behind some of the biggest challenges to successful strategic management in a world that is in constant flux, full of ambiguities and increasingly complex. The course proceeds in two parts. In the first part, we will develop a basic understanding of systematic complexities in strategic management, including strategies from stakeholders. In the second part, you will plan and implement a structured analysis of a systemic phenomenon in strategic management.
