This unit provides the scaffolding that bridges the core principles of strategic management covered in the business courses in a more in-depth way. The unit is taught from the perspective of a strategy manager who makes decisions about Business Course offerings in a tertiary education setting Students will use their own educational journey to do a thorough analysis utilising tools to provide strategic recommendations around the value and potentials of the course that students are familiar/undertaking to suit their career path.
