This course commences with a review of the available models in strategic management. Then students choose a specific organisation in the Pacific region and analyse each and every step of the strategic management process of the organisation on a group basis under the guidance of the concerned faculty member. Students will analyse the political, economic, social, and technological environment in the region and their impact. They will examine the direction of the organisation, its vision and mission, goals and objectives in the context of organisational strengths and weaknesses and the changing external environment. They will critically examine the past, present and possible future strategies, corporate as well as at different functional levels, and will evaluate their effectiveness. Then they will cross-examine the structure of the organisation to ensure successful implementation of the planned strategies to achieve the set objectives. In-depth analysis of the live case and stage-wise presentation for continuous improvement are the hall marks of this course.
