The Business Challenge Exercise
Before the program begins, participants are encouraged to submit a
growth-related strategic challenge they are facing for discussion during the
program. Under the guidance of a faculty mentor, groups of participants from
non-competitive industries apply their experience and new learning to propose
solutions to each business challenge.
Company Growth Strategies: Managing in Rocky Economic Times
Participants will learn how building sizeable revenue beyond local markets is a key imperative for many companies and organizations. During a series of four sessions, special attention will be focused on how company growth strategies are adjusting to and being impacted by differing underlying economic times.
Through a mixture of case studies and lectures, participants will examine and discuss the accelerators and inhibitors of company growth. Case studies will focus on companies with different heritage bases, including the United States, Australia, and Israel, as well as organizations involved in a variety of industries, such as food, medical products, online auctions, and computer software.
Strategic Leadership of Growing Companies in Dynamic Environments
This session takes the perspective of the general manager and is concerned with strategic leadership of growing companies in highly dynamic environments. The major purpose of the course is to sharpen our capacity for strategic thinking and to provide frameworks to help company leaders set strategic direction and lead the strategy-making process in sometimes turbulent environments. The course uses lecture and discussion sessions to provide concepts and tools for strategic analysis. It uses case studies of the evolution of companies that grew from small startup to large established organization to apply these concepts and tools in real settings and to show the role of strategic leadership in company evolutions.
