課程概述 |
As a required (strategy) course for IB junior/senior students, this course is to provide an analytical strategy framework for effectively managing organization(s) to create and realize values in a changing global environment. More specifically, this course encompasses three major elements that are central to the (general) management functions of a multinational corporation, upon which our course design is based; they are: (1) Building competitive advantages (i.e., strategy unit), (2) Transferring and configuring competitive advantages across boarder (i.e., global strategy unit), and (3) Organizing global competitiveness (i.e., organization unit). |
|
課程目標 |
To help students well capture these knowledge sets, we will address both
strategic and organizational principles that underlie the formation of firm-specific competitive advantages in the context of global management. Pedagogically, this course relies upon case-based learning and conscientious reading efforts. As a managerial course, your active participation and meaningful contribution to sustaining a good conversation throughout the whole semester would be a must. Overall, this course is to develop your competencies in strategic thinking and managerial problem-solving within the context of multinational management. |
