Omschrijving | This course is one of the obligatory courses of the SB&E track within the MScBA. The aim of the course is to discuss recent academic research on the issue of strategic positioning and the creation of a competitive advantage. The course focuses on those insights that allow SMEs to solve strategic queries they are confronted with. As small businesses are more resource constrained than larger businesses strategic choices regarding these topics will have major consequences for the performance of the SMEs. The students have to review scientific publications and to reflect critically on the relevance of these theories for SMEs. The following topics are dealt with: boundaries of the firm, competition and types of cooperation, strategic positioning, and the impact of the external environment on strategy. | ||||||||
