Strategy is a subject designed to expose you to a strategic perspective on issues that concern an organisation as a whole. The subject draws on and integrates concepts from most of the other MBA subjects which focus on specific areas of operating a business (i.e. functional areas of marketing, finance, accounting, human resource management, operations management) and uses these insights to aid in the development of novel and competitive solutions to complex business problems and opportunities. The subject covers the evolution of the field of strategy and the need to balance strategy process, content and context.
