BUSA 6900 Governance and Strategic Management Analysis
The strategic management process is the mainstay of this course. This means a focus on macro, industry and rival analysis; competitive advantage assessment; and value chain development. The elevation of student thinking to the strategic level, the synthesis of business strategy through the lenses of the resource-based view and the oral and written communication of that thinking to others are the primary course outcomes. There is also a special emphasis on corporate governance and the role of agency theory in the creation and sustainment of an ethical business climate.
