The course is about corporate strategy. It is concerned with the key questions of strategy development and implementation at the corporate level of a company. Examples of such questions include:
• Should we invest our limited capital into a new factory for our traditional core business or rather into research and development for our emerging digital business?
• Where should our long-term growth come from, given that our core business is maturing at an increasing speed?
• Are we the best owner for our marginal service business or should we consider divesting it?
• Should we expand our portfolio of businesses by doing this big acquisition in an adjacent field?
• How can we strengthen the global authority of our central divisions while not losing the
entrepreneurial spirit in our country organizations?
