Introduction

Dette emnet gir studentene en innføring i strategisk analyse og ledelse. Studentene tilegner seg innsikt i og forståelse for strategisk analyse, strategisk tenkning og tilnærming, og gjøres dermed i stand til å delta i strategiske planprosesser i en virksomhet. Foretaksstrategi bygger på og anvender kunnskap og ferdigheter fra de øvrige økonomisk-administrative emnene slik at disse sees i sammenheng.

Required preliminary courses
