Section Info:
This course will meet in 343L Wohlers Hall. Corporate strategy addresses the questions: (1) What businesses should the firm compete in; (2) How should it enter and/or exit these businesses; and (3) How should it manage these businesses? This course is built on two major premises: 1. The importance of foundational theory in strategy: Due to the applied, interdisciplinary nature of the field of strategic management, students must learn to appreciate the interplay between foundational literature from core disciplines and strategy applications (both in theoretical and empirical research). 2. The importance of depth in key areas of research in the field: In other seminars, you will be exposed to a broad range of ideas and their potential applications. This seminar, however, focuses on one of the foremost areas of investigation in the field: corporate strategy. My overriding goal is for you to become conversant with how research has developed with respect to the set of phenomena that together comprise this area of investigation, and to help you identify fruitful areas for future research.
