Strategic Thinking: Tools, Processes and Cases

The course objective is to teach students a way of thinking that leads to effective strategy development and operational problem-solving using instructor-selected case studies that well integrate the marketing, finance, accounting, business economics and business mathematics courses.

Students are challenged to evaluate specific business scenarios to achieve an increased proficiency in evaluating, recommending, and forecasting strategic alternatives and potential changes to enhance organizational success, effectiveness, and efficiencies.

University M.B.A. programs can be expected to utilize the case study method throughout their curricula reinforcing the high value of this pre-M.B.A. education and experience.

Students pursuing our advanced finance certificates will find the case study approach useful as they can apply the skills learned immediately in the workplace.
