MBA/MGT 572: Leadership and Strategy

The purpose of Felician’s Leadership and Strategy MBA Specialization course is to provide graduate students with the opportunity to develop their strategic leadership perspective and capabilities. This course introduces the components of strategic leadership at the business and corporate levels. This course emphasizes mission, vision, and values as a cornerstone of strategy formulation. We will look at the practices, techniques, and processes for developing strategy, identifying strategic gaps, issues, environmental threats and opportunities. We will investigate the roles corporate governance and stakeholders play in strategy formulation; what the organizational structure should look like; leadership and change management. Case studies are used to develop an organizational perspective; to focus on the required leadership skills involved in identifying issues, evaluating options, and implementing plans; and, to provide students with the opportunity to adapt the theory to real-life experience.
