Project: Solving Strategic Problems

The Solving strategic problems course combines theoretical and practical approaches to strategic management. The course concept has been developed in close cooperation of two university departments. Each group has two teachers: one from the Department of Strategic Management and one from the Department of Supply Chain Management. During the semester, students work in groups of four on project-based exercises. Each project task will last for 3 weeks. The first week is devoted to defining the theoretical and methodological framework for solving the task, the second to consultation, and the third to presenting and reviewing lessons learned. The projects are partly based on real company cases and partly on case studies. The topics of each project are the followings: positioning of the company and its external environment, the role of resources
and capabilities in defining strategy, operations management, strategy selection and implementation.
