Overview
Key facts
London School of Economics and Political Science's Strategic Management course provides students with a deep understanding of how firms develop and sustain a competitive edge. By engaging with real-world case studies, students will learn the key concepts and theories in the field and how they can be used to interpret and evaluate business situations. Paying special attention to the factors that explain why some firms perform better, students will understand the drivers of competitive advantage both in the short and long term.
The “resource-based view” of the firm will be used as a cornerstone of discussion, complemented by contributions from microeconomic theory, game theory and organisational theory. At the end of the course, you will be able to apply the theories learned in class to formulate and implement successful strategies that give competitive advantage to a firm.

General requirements
This course is suitable if you want to develop the critical-thinking skills to make strategic business decisions, especially if you are targeting a role in consulting or business management. The course emphasises critical-thinking with intensive use of analytical reasoning. It is rigorous in its approach, but does not require any previous knowledge of economics, mathematics, management or business so is open to students from a wide range of academic backgrounds.If you are already familiar with some strategic management concepts you may also benefit from the applied nature of the course, although you should keep in mind that the course is an introduction to the field. As a result you may wish to consider MG220 which provides a more advanced understanding of the subject.
