About the Course
-
The Developing Strategy and Data Analysis (DSDA) module explores the ways that organisations develop the strategies that drive their actions. Models are introduced to assess an organisation’s existing strategic position, taking into account the external environment to identify opportunities and threats, and the internal environment in terms of resources and capabilities to assess its strengths and weaknesses. The impact stakeholders and stakeholder analysis have on strategic development is covered, as is the nature of stakeholder value – their business, economic, public and social value. The models used to generate and select strategic options are considered and there is a focus on the role of innovation in strategy development, the ethical considerations in strategy evaluation and choice and the importance of digital strategies and the different forms of entrepreneurship.
