Creating Value through Global Strategy

Oct. 29 - Nov. 2, 2012 | Thunderbird Campus

CEUs: 3.5

Creating Value through Global Strategy

This executive professional development opportunity helps business managers broaden their strategic leadership skills by analyzing the best practices of global corporations in an array of industries. The short-format design of this classroom-based executive leadership program allows managers to participate in a premier corporate training program that teaches global strategy skills without a long-term educational commitment.

History reveals that the most successful companies understand their corporate pasts, their corporate values. They also understand their stakeholders, know what the market wants, listen to customers and develop products that even the customer hasn’t yet imagined. You’ll develop this same skill set, using practical, contemporary tools gleaned from this course.

Program Highlights

Learn how to develop and implement effective strategy based on your organization’s values and market needs as you study:

  • Strategy formulation
  • Strategic plan execution
  • Global operations management
  • The impact of organizational design and structure
  • The complexities of planning for and managing international joint ventures and alliances

You will further enhance your strategic management skills through team simulation exercises with peers from around the globe, analysis of global case studies and participation in class discussions.
