On the surface, the notion of business strategy would seem to be quite straightforward and uncomplicated. Surely it is just a matter of deciding some medium- to long-term goals, bringing together the resources, human and material, that will be required if they are to be achieved, devising a plan and schedule for implementation, and then just getting on with it. In practice, however, and especially in large, multi-business companies, it is not at all straightforward. There are several reasons why this is the case. The Strategic Planning and Management course has been designed for managers saddled with the responsibilities of developing strategies for achieving their organization’s goals. The course will employ the use of case studies to impart knowledge.
