The course Strategic Management & Sustainability is an introductory level course on the broad topic of strategic management. While in traditional views on strategic management, the term sustainability often refers to “sustainable competitive advantage”, this course expands the notion of sustainability to a contemporary view beyond merely financial measures. Specifically, it emphasizes the evaluation of the impact of strategy in the broader context of the economy, society, and the environment.

Students acquire a basic understanding of strategic management, especially strategy analysis, strategy process, content, and context. They acquire the competencies to distinguish different strategic approaches, concepts, and models. Moreover, they establish the ability to develop, plan and implement strategies to effectively consider environmental trends and explore opportunities. Accordingly, they acquire the ability to evaluate the impact of strategy on the broader organizational context by critically reflecting on established concepts and acknowledging the paradigm shift toward sustainability.
