This course introduces students to issues associated with formulating a corporate growth strategy. It draws on findings from various disciplines to build a fundamental understanding of how firms can choose the businesses and markets in which they operate, considerations for geographic expansion, and how technology interplays with strategy. Readings and cases lead towards understanding the underlying forces of technological, digital and data change affecting a firm's external and internal environments and the implications of these fundamental factors for affecting the practice of strategy design. The course is designed to challenge students both inside and outside of the classroom, and to inform their consulting project.
