課程概述

To reflect the cutting edge of academic thinking about business strategy, this course aims to offer students a solid economic foundation for strategic analysis. By presenting basic concepts of economic theory rooted in modern strategy literature, the course provides an economic lens for viewing a broad array of the strategic activities of the firm.
The course begins by examining the nature of competition and the dynamics of competitive rivalry. We also cover the debate between environmental determinism and strategic choice. After the mid-term exam, the focus is on the rationale of corporate strategy; that is, why and how firms change their boundaries in the pursuit of growth or value creation.
