Introduksjon
To achieve sustainable competitive advantage in a complex and dynamic business environment, organizations need to
develop and execute strategies. The course offers a blend of classic strategy concepts and their application across
new and existing business models. It describes a typology of business models and provides an understanding of the
role of strategy as it applies to existing and emerging businesses. Since there is no one-to-one correspondence
between strategy concepts and business models, the students will get exposure to strategy theory and its application
in classic and novel types of businesses. The course relies on simulation and case applications from a variety of industries.
