Underlying this purpose are the objectives to provide a framework for you to generate ideas for businesses and test their feasibility, followed by providing you with the tools needed to construct and write a business plan using the latest methods and approaches. Five major course elements support these objectives. Experience the process: identify, evaluate and pursue a real business opportunity, of your own choosing, from either an independent or corporate setting with a team of motivated peers. Write a plan: develop a business plan for a new venture. Analyze the problems: consider some fundamental issues related to venture initiation and learn to assess the risks, challenges and rewards involved in the venturing process. Meet the professionals: through guest lecturers, learn from the experiences of seasoned entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, get feedback from professionals, and acquire practical knowledge and tools. These speakers are the real deal. Step off the beaten path: to borrow a phrase from the eminent Dr. Ian MacMillan, learn the Entrepreneurial Mindset. Learn to think differently, challenge conventional wisdom, extend creative energies beyond previously imagined limits, and redefine your scope of possibilities using new methods and attitudes.

This class is designed to be an upper-level course in strategy. It provides new concepts and ideas for the tool-kit of the manager involved in the strategy process. We start out with the question of how value can be created and, more importantly, appropriated. This leads to the general issue of how a competitive advantage can be built. We will focus in our discussion on new concepts that have been developed around the notions of complementarities and fit. In the next section of the course, we look at the question of what decisions managers can make to sustain a competitive advantage. In the last section of the course, we will be dealing with strategy making in the face of environmental changes. Topics include real options, modularity, and strategic inflection points.

This course is designed with this question in mind. The objective is to teach students the concepts, analytical techniques, and real-world cases that will help them understand the basis for superior and sustainable firm profitability. Ideally, students should leave this course with the skills and knowledge to analyze, critique, and recommend strategies that are appropriate to a companys external environment and its internal capabilities. The skills and concepts in this course are analogous to those of a management consultant or industry analyst, who add value through analytical techniques that can be applied to a broad variety of firms and industries. To reinforce this approach, assignments are research-oriented and designed to mimic those of a consulting team that has been charged with developing a strategy for a "client" firm.

This course is a concentrated, structured introduction to mainstream academic research processes in marketing. Specifically we shall: (a) Consider the range of issues that researchers routinely have to address. (b) Examine how these issues might be managed. (c) Discuss the design of executable research so that you can undertake research of your own. (d) Adopt a critical and questioning approach throughout. Along the way, you will learn about the systems and structures of academic marketing (such as the journals, authors, conferences, societies and institutions), and have some exposure to research controversies, disputes and paradoxes. Much of this will come from your critical evaluation of the set readings, rather than from formal instruction in research methodology.
