Learning Outcomes

The objective of this module is to instruct students in approaches of industry analysis and current problems of top management of corporations. Regarding the industry analysis it is important that the students learn how to handle these instruments themselves and how they can learn from this analysis for their future work career. With the support of selective industry experts, the students are taught to present professional case studies and how to stand on their own ground in an English discussion. Furthermore, the students should learn how to derive solutions for strategic problems, and thus how to manage the challenges with which modern management has to deal.

Content

The course “Competitive and Corporate Strategies“ introduces the basic concepts of strategic management. Next, the interplay of competitive strategies, industry analysis and industry evolution will be the focus. Subsequently multiple industries will serve for exemplification of the application of the previously presented management instruments. Then, we will turn to corporate strategies and by that take the perspective of top management. This includes the important issues of corporate governance, management compensation, and environmental strategies. The other course, “Strategic Management, Knowledge-based Organization and Organizational Change” starts with an overview of schools of thought from the field of strategic management. After that the choncept of organizational change is the main focus. On this basis we discuss issues of knowledge management and details from different concepts of organizational change. Part of this module are also a small series of workshops with leading consulting companies and speeches by external professionals. The course “Competitive Strategies in Commodity Oligopolies” offers an additional perspective on the practical implications of strategic decision making. By means of an economic simulation game the participants can train there managerial skills, and compare their observations with the content of the first course.
