Understand how macro environmental factors influence business strategy

What is strategy, and how does the macro environment influence a firm’s strategy formation?

Through this course you will look at the definition of strategy, and explore the effects that macro environmental factors have on it.

You will have the opportunity to discuss the concept of strategy and globalisation and examine the macro environment in detail, using a series of in-depth case studies to help determine where a firm should position itself in a globalised environment.
