Abstract|
This is a capstone subject. Successful completion of the assignments will require that students draw on material and concepts studied in prior subjects. The subject focuses on the strategic planning function in an organisation. There is consideration of the audit of the organisation's internal resources and of the external factors which impact upon strategic decision making. The formulation of strategic alternatives which mesh with the organisations current environment and then selection of the most effective are also examined. The implementation of strategic plans and their evaluation is the final section. |
