Business Strategy & Purpose

Catalog description

This course deals with the strategic management of firms that operate in a global environment with multiple stakeholders who possess competing objectives. It is the capstone class of the professional MBA and allows you to integrate your previous learning across business disciplines, and perhaps to learn about yourself. The course will focus on applying knowledge in a dynamic global setting while considering how to manage a firm from a “triple bottom line” perspective – creating value for people, profit, and the planet. It utilizes a strategy simulation software-based game within which teams create virtual firms and compete in a simulated industry.
