Strategic management is called a capstone course.
It is an opportunity to combine the knowledge and skills gained in all previous courses in your undergraduate business curriculum. Your success in accomplishing this knowledge integration will be largely based on your willingness to go back and review material learned in other classes. You will be presented with general management cases in which you must seek to identify multiple functional challenges involved and devise effective, cross-functional solutions. This course involves learning to balance differing viewpoints and demands . You are to take a holistic perspective, relating all issues back to common goals and objectives that supercede interests of any single subgroup.
