This unit explores theories and concepts of strategy and of strategic management through a programme of lectures and tutorials. Lectures introduce theoretical concepts and ideas that inform the subject, fully illustrated with examples and stories from the world of business and management. The tutorials involve readings, exercises and case studies which encourage involvement and help students to think and act strategically through practice. Additional reading is designed to develop a depth of understanding of a subject that appears both deceptively simple and annoyingly complex. Students attending the unit will develop their ability to think and act strategically at organisational and personal levels.
