In particular, the course consists of the following sub-sections:
i) Strategic Analysis of the entity's environment, industry, competition, stakeholders, pressure groups and capabilities in a context of increased complexity, accelerated change and globalization.
ii) Strategic Decisions which, on the one hand, will be based on the company's ability to identify the opportunities and risks in any changes in the business environment and on the other hand to develop strategies to deal with/exploit these changes.
iii) Strategic Actions for the implementation of the strategic choices given the structures, systems, culture and management model of the entity.
