To develop an effective strategic plan, a company needs to address four broad questions: What is our present situation? What is the likely future situation? Where do we want to go from here? And how are we going to get there? In this course you will apply these questions to generate strategic recommendations for a real Australian company. Your work will be based on current and credible industry reports and peer reviewed journals, and you will learn how to adapt and apply widely recognized strategy models to organize and analyse the information.
