This subject focuses on issues of leadership and strategic thinking in a global business environment. The subject is experientially grounded and uses both computer-based simulations and outdoor problem-solving and teamwork activities as catalysts for learning. In the course of the two-day residential workshop, students assess business risk through an analysis of industry and competitive conditions in a global context; implement enhanced problem-solving and creative thinking techniques appropriate to workplace environments; think strategically about a company's competitive situation and future prospects; develop and revise strategies in the light of changing conditions; and understand their managerial actions in relation to a deeper understanding of personal strengths and weaknesses.
