Program Aim
The Strategic Management specialization curriculum will equip students with the necessary skill and ability to analyze, formulate and evaluate organizational goals. Thus, enabling you to develop goals that are abreast with the dynamics of the business world; consequently, giving you the means to gain a competitive edge and improve market share.

Strategic Management overlaps with other Business disciplines, such as Business Administration, Finance, Marketing, Risk Management, Negotiation, and Statistics. Strategic Management explores various aspects, from critical decision-making to setting business goals, from creating plans to anticipating outcomes, from analysing risks to determining which external factors represent roadblocks, and everything in between.
