Description
To be effective, leaders must understand the factors responsible for their organization’s past performance and be able to identify those changes (inside or outside the firm) that are most likely to help or hurt future performance. In this course, we introduce a wide variety of modern strategy frameworks and methodologies in order to help you develop the skills needed to be a successful leader or consultant with respect to strategy development within healthcare organizations ranging from health systems to biopharmaceutical manufacturers. We use cases and readings to explore a wide range of strategic problems, focusing particularly on the sources of competitive advantage and the interaction between industry structure and organizational capabilities.
