If you are looking for a summer experience to inspire and enlighten you, our Warwick Summer School is for you. You will experience a great mix of academic and personal development sessions as well as social and cultural activities. In a changing world the sharing of different perspectives leads to high quality decisions and effective strategies. We provide a set of key theories and analytical tools to develop your strategic thinking skills. We start with understanding that strategy is not simply a game and understanding our own organisation and the context we find ourselves in is vital to strategizing. The course is structured in a way that starts with the big picture – the external environment – moves on to the competitive environment -the internal environment of the firm - and how value is created and captured by firms. However, strategy means nothing if we fail to implement it effectively, so, in week 2, we look at how decisions come be made, the barriers to implementation of strategy and how to overcome these. In the last week, we look at the key contemporary issues in strategy and the direction that strategic thinking is going. You will have 60 hours teaching contact time during the 3 weeks and if you choose to take the optional examination you can typically get 3-4 credits (US) 7.5 ECTS points (EU) - please check with your home institution.
