The goal of this course is to improve how students conduct and communicate strategic analysis. The course will teach and utilize advanced ideas from economics toward informing critical strategies in contexts that are analytically more complex, such as contexts where dynamics, network externalities, and incentives are important. The ideas includes which industries to enter and exit, what parts of value chains to participate in, how to shape an industry's competitive environment in a beneficial manner, and how to shape the firm's internal organization to fit its competitive context.
