Strategic Management can be characterized as a set of managerial decisions and actions that determines the long run performance of a corporation. It includes environmental scanning (external and internal to the corporation), strategy formulation, strategy implementation and evaluation and control. Using cases drawn from actual business situations, the course develops skills in (1) diagnosing the overall condition of a company or organization, with emphasis on its financial situation; (2) perceiving and analyzing evolving environmental trends, seeking new opportunities for the organization and new threats against it; (3) understanding those specific company skills that give it advantages over the competition and weaknesses that hinder its competitive position; (4) identifying and evaluating the strategic alternatives that are feasible for a given situation; (5) matching skills with opportunities, and relating them to one or more strategic alternatives in determining strategy and setting objectives; and (6) developing detailed policies and plans, and implementing them. The study of strategic management, therefore, emphasizes the monitoring and evaluating the external opportunities and threats in light of a corporation’s strengths and weaknesses. We will build on insights developed in other courses, such as Understanding General Management, Managerial Economics, Managing Organizational Behavior, Finance and Marketing Strategy. We will explore and apply tools developed by world-renowned scholars that are taught at business schools all over the world, and add our own unique Jesuit perspective, to arrive at insights that are both applicable in the business world and deeply rooted in a thorough academic understanding. Hence, this is an integrative course in that the tools and skills learned in other required courses are needed to develop practical company-wide general management decisions. Since few students become general managers immediately upon graduation, Strategic Management includes a series of cases, simulations, and/or consulting projects on the role of the new functional, business and corporate/global managers in formulating and implementing strategies.
