The field of Strategic Management is of equal importance for both practice and business theory. Dealing with the strategic aspects of corporate management seems not only attractive, but also necessary. Long-term survival on the market and the sustainable achievement of competitive advantages are generally not primarily attributable to indicators such as the size or age of a company, but rather to its successful strategies. The development and implementation of strategies are therefore key tasks for the management of companies. In order to create a broad and comprehensible basis for understanding strategic management, this lecture will first explain important basic terms and the purpose of strategic management. In addition, the influence of current developments (e.g. disruptive technologies or the war in Ukraine) on strategy development will be discussed. A process model of strategic management is then presented and its key phases discussed in detail. Important tools and decision-making aids for strategic management (e.g. industry structure analysis and business model analysis) will be presented and illustrated using specific practical examples. The course will also focus on the discussion of viable strategies in global competition, the investigation of the influence of digitalization on strategy development and the associated analysis of digital platform strategies, as well as the investigation of the responsibility of internationally active companies for sustainable development. The lecture “Strategische Unternehmensführung” covers the following topics in detail: 1. Introduction

Lernziel: |
The aim of the lecture is to give students an insight into the research field of strategic management. They should also be able to apply the content they have learned to specific practical problems and independently analyze strategic decisions made by companies. Students also recognize the need to deal with the consequences of current developments, such as the war in Ukraine and digitalization for strategy development in companies. Through many practical examples, students gain a deeper insight into the current strategic problem areas and challenges facing companies. |

Important: We strongly recommend that students attend both the lecture and the tutorials in person. The content of both sessions is essential for the exam and there will be no recording or broadcast of the classes. Students therefore have individual responsibility for their learning success, which depends on their personal commitment. Course participants are therefore strongly advised to follow the lectures closely and to invest time in self-study and literature work for the subject “Strategic Management”. The content discussed in the lectures should be prepared and followed up using the textbook mentioned below and other recommended literature sources. The tutorial creates space to deepen what has been learned by applying it independently to exercises. This opportunity should also be used urgently with a view to the exam.
