This required Capstone course, should be taken as (or near) the final course. Integral parts of the course are preparation of a comprehensive, written strategic plan, written and case analysis discussion, an online business strategy simulation, discussion boards, and review of current strategic thought. The perspective is a holistic one which views the organization as a total system, comprised of internal, specialized sub-systems, and interacting with an external, dynamic environment. The emphasis will be on the development, implementation, and analysis of organization policies and strategies which influence a firm’s survival and success in an increasingly competitive world. The role of the general manager (versus the functional specialist) will be stressed. Learning teams are used throughout the course.
