This course has expired. We're sorry. This course is full or has expired and is no longer accepting applications.

Details

Strategic planning is not a product but a process. It requires the ability to work closely with a management team, to provide a framework for exploring options, to challenge conventional thinking, and to build consensus around a pragmatic plan.

Too often, strategies are formulated from management assumptions developed around a conference room table in the absence of solid market facts. But that does not tell you how your business can perform better than your competitors. Neither does is validate what external, environmental factors in the GCC affect your business.

This course explains how the strategic management process can be used to analyse environments, industries and organisations, and how to use that analysis to make sound strategic choices.
