STRATEGY ASSIGNMENT AND BUSINESS CASE
As we have been analyzing in the first 3 sessions of the course, strategy is the pattern or plan that integrates an organization’s major goals, policies and action sequences into a cohesive whole. Business Strategy is concerned with an organization´s basic direction for the future: its purpose, its ambition, its resources and how it interacts with the world in which it operates. Business strategy is basically about competitive advantage, the plan that enables an organization to gain, as efficiently as possible, a sustainable edge over its competitors.
Obviously, the purpose of this course is to equip you students with the core concepts, frameworks and techniques of business strategy. The good strategist analyzes the industry environment and the internal generic conditions of its competitors in order to get conclusions about the concrete situation of his company and design all the possible ways to compete within its industry.
Since we have examined each of the different components of the business strategy and the basic tools of strategic analysis, now it is time you show me that you have understood the basic frameworks and techniques of business strategy.
