Strategic thinking involves the ability to identify relevant information, to formulate and develop rigorous reports, and to judge the outcome of the analysis. The analytical skills are essential when managing organisations in different situations and changing contexts. This course addresses strategic issues (scale, scope, advantage, growth, communication) through cases and provides analytical tools as well as an in depth understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of different analytical methods in strategic management.

This is an advanced level course and participating students are expected to have basic insights into the field of strategy. This course is the first in the Strategy-track in Management and Organization, which consists of the following courses: 1) Strategic Thinking, 2) Strategy work, and 3) Strategic foresight. 

The course is joint of both locations and can be taken by students from both Helsinki and Vaasa.

The course introduction takes place on Friday 3.9 at 8:30 online via Teams. Welcome! Eva-Lena Lundgren-Henriksson & Thach Huynh Bao
