If you want to be a business owner or a corporate executive whose job involves business decisions, then you will certainly need to master three fundamental disciplines:
-
Business Strategy
-
Management and Leadership
-
Marketing Strategy
There is no way around that. It is possible to be an entrepreneur and a CEO with an engineering background and without an MBA or a business degree; what is not possible is being either of those things without having a clue about:
-
The industry lifecycle model and its four stages: Introduction, Growth, Maturity, and Decline
-
Porter’s five forces model
-
The bargaining power of buyers
-
The bargaining power of clients
-
The threat of new entrants
-
The threat of substitute products
-
Game theory
-
The typical company lifecycle
-
What a competitive advantage is
-
How to choose the optimal competitive strategy: Cost leadership, Differentiation, or Niche
-
The dangers of pursuing a hybrid strategy
-
How to choose whether to grow organically or through M&A
-
The difference between horizontal and vertical integration
-
The advantages and dangers of outsourcing
-
How to apply a SWOT analysis in practice

Great introduction course to Business Strategy an Marketing. The lectures dive deep into the business concepts with case studies that help to enforce the course contents. I would recommend to others. Good works.
Zainal Abidin Tinggal –
A lot of information at a fast pace. The presentation has become a little bit monotonous maybe because it is merely being read and there has been no personal interaction. It is also because of my learning style which prefer face-to-face interaction.
Youcef LADJAL –
Rich course that provides valuable insights in both Corporate and Business Strategy. Everything is well explained and highlighted with real life examples from well known companies such as Apple, Tesla, Starbucks and Zara. Recommended for new Managers.

I am enjoying this course immensely as it simplifies strategies and tools well
Bernadette Arroyo –
I think the content in this course could be used for a course on its own, because it is a lot of information to process and it’s not exactly focused on how decision making happens.
Mauricio Murillo –
