Global Strategic Management Global Strategic Management

【授業の目標 / Course Objectives】

Although not a formal requirement, it is strongly recommended that students first take the course "Introduction to Strategic Management,"(BT175) or an overseas equivalent (for exchange students), before taking this one. Nonetheless, the course features material which does not depend on knowing the material from the Intro course, so it is open to all.
This course goes into a deeper understanding of Strategy, beginning with its earliest roots in the military, as far back as Sun Tzu in the 6th century B.C. all the way through 21st century business strategists. Among the topics covered which go beyond the basics of well-known frameworks like Porter's 5 Forces and PESTEL, are mathematical approaches to calculating one's best move, given the opponent's best move (e.g. Game Theory), processes by which strategies emerge and adapt, the science of prediction, scenario planning, and the purpose, utility, and limits of strategic design and implementation. Beginning in the 8th session, students will be divided into groups, and each group will collaborate online with students from Foreign Trade University in Hanoi, Vietnam to work on an international business project and develop a strategy for entering a foreign market. Groups will compete, with finalists and winners chosen. The project will provide an opportunity both to work with students across borders, and to apply the strategic concepts learned in the course to a practical, competitive business scenario. By the end of the course, students should have an outstanding knowledge of Strategy, both theoretically and practically. They will have fully explored the conscious pursuit of objectives, and the degree to which, and the methods by which, outcomes may or may not be subject to deliberate control.

【授業の内容 / Course Contents】

Lectures will explore strategic topics in depth, bringing to bear the many minds throughout history who have applied themselves to this subject. Historical cases will be examined, and in-class exercises will be done by students for applying strategic techniques. The second half of the course will allow students to apply what they have learned through an international strategy project in collaboration with overseas students.
