Competition is getting tougher, margins smaller and resources scarcer. At the same time, expectations of you increase, whether you are a leader, specialist, or advisor. How can you meet expectations under increasingly demanding conditions? You can be the one who brings your company lasting competitive advantage with current knowledge in strategic management.

The specialisation intends to give students

• different perspectives on disciplines within the field of strategy, economics, innovation and management that can contribute to better decision-making and development of their own enterprises. Theory and practical application are integrated in the programme, and the participants work on relevant issues from their own enterprises.
• relevant research-based knowledge about strategic management in a broad perspective. Many enterprises are in a situation of constantly changing competition, often from international competitors, and an overall understanding is therefore necessary to be able to deal with challenges and create and take advantage of opportunities.
• the ability to shed light on factors that help an enterprise to develop and mobilise resources in a way that creates lasting competitive advantages.  
• networking opportunities for the purpose of learning and further development both in and outside the teaching situation.

Target group

The specialisation is aimed at people who work in enterprises that are or will be exposed to competition, and managers who are looking for professional development and in-depth knowledge of areas of strategic importance to their own enterprises.

Leaders who desire professional development and specialisation in strategically important areas for their own business are also part of the target group.

From large companies, division and section leaders are particularly relevant - as well as those who assist leaders in shaping strategy. From smaller companies, top leaders and department leaders are natural candidates. Employees in financial institutions, public administration, or business and industry organisations will also benefit greatly from the study.

The study is designed to accommodate a busy schedule.

Build a network

Alongside the other participants, you establish networks of immeasurable value. You engage closely with your peers through group work and discussions in intensive study sessions.

A diverse group of participants with complementary skills and backgrounds allows for various perspectives and offers opportunities for learning across industries and disciplines. This mix creates a dynamic and productive environment.

Throughout the course, you will become acquainted with proficient professionals, leaders in pivotal roles, and specialists from whom you can learn – both during the course and in the long term.

Close and personal guidance

To ensure consistency and quality of the specialisation, and a close and personal guidance of all participants, a dedicated academic director will follow the participants from the very beginning until the end.

The academic director maintains a high academic level, has a strong commitment and a large degree of involvement in you and your learning.
