Subject Rationale:
The Global Strategy and Innovation for Leaders deals with practices of strategy analysis, including the analysis of the internal and external environment, global industry analysis, firm resources and capabilities, institutional drivers of global strategy, competitive dynamics, and leadership for organisational strategy in multinational enterprises.
In this subject an emphasis is placed on innovation strategies. Students apply analytical tools and frameworks to evaluate foreign market entry strategies, strategic alliances and (international) acquisitions, corporate and international diversification, global supply chains and corporate social responsibility.
As there has been a marked shift in the responsibility of leader from driving the operational effectiveness of the business to its strategic positioning and the creation of unique value for its customers through innovation, the role of leaders in strategy is discussed in this subject building on the previous subjects that foster leadership competencies of MBA students.
