Abstract
Introduces students to the concerns that impact a firm's choice of strategy, scope, and organization and assists in three central tasks that comprise the typical decision problem: diagnosing the sources of corporate advantage, evaluating the limits to such advantage, and offering prescriptions that overcome these limits. In studying a range of firms across a variety of contexts, from global market leaders to start-up companies, the course builds on the analytical tools introduced in nearly all the first-year courses, but particularly Strategy. To train students in this way of thinking, the course draws heavily on recent advances in economics, notably industrial organization, organizational economics, and financial economics.
