4.00 credits MOB3535 Strategy to Action: Implementing Strategy Change (General Credit) Accomplishing Strategy helps students to achieve superior results for themselves and for their organizations by exploiting the natural processes that create the future of a business. Fundamentally, the course recognizes strategy as the result of indigenous dynamics in and around a business rather than those directed only from top managers or by the execution of a plan. Course participants learn how to detect opportunities and how to determine what actions to pursue. A distinctive approach is presented that enables students to take initiative proactively and to pursue actions preemptively. Practical tools are introduced that apply to all types of businesses and at almost all levels of an organization. Most of the concepts, tools, case studies, workshops, readings, and presentations are original and the intellectual property of the instructor. A course project that addresses strategy at an ongoing business is an important part of the course. Prerequisite: IME 3 or ASM3300
