GSN405 Strategic Management

In a complex society where change is occurring with increasing frequency, strategy has never had greater significance, nor has it been more challenging. The range of local, national and international issues confronting business is both complex and diverse. The need for a strategic framework for overall direction, decision-making, and alignment with the environment is essential. Successful enterprises, no matter the sector they operate in, reflect a strategic thinking, and orientation. That there is no one right strategy is explored in context of the differences within industries and organisations, as is the alignment of organisational competencies and capabilities with the external environment, the vision, and the intent of organisational purpose.
