The objective of this course is to provide an evidence-based understanding of best practice in strategic management, including business policy and corporate strategy. As a research-led course it will explore a range of strategic management theories.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. define, explain and illustrate a range of strategic management theories;
2. analyse an organisation’s internal and external strategically relevant environments by applying appropriate theories, models and heuristics;
3. undertake an applied research project in the field of strategic management;
4. explain how to apply evidence-based best practice strategy analysis and execution;
5. demonstrate a critical understanding of strategic management theories and current empirical research associated with the topics covered in this course; and,
6. communicate effectively in oral and written forms about strategic management theories and their application using appropriate concepts, logic and rhetorical conventions.

Research-Led Teaching

Strategic Management research draws on a variety of scholarly disciplines including management, economics and sociology. In this course particular attention is paid to how understandings of strategic management could help us find and apply evidence relevant to addressing problems in business.

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website Students may choose not to submit assessment items through Turnitin. In this instance you will be required to submit, alongside the assessment item itself, hard copies of all references included in the assessment item.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Participation

Participation is expected in all classes and assessments. The course will be taught in dual delivery mode, with combined Face-to-Face (F2F) & Online (live streamed) seminar.

Examination(s)

A take home examination (task 5) is set for this course. More information about the take home examination will be provided in class and on Wattle by week 12

Assessment Task 1

Strategy project client memo (Group work and group assessment)

Given this is a course on strategy, it is only natural that one of the key assessment items is a strategy project. You complete this as a group. We expect that groups will be of three to four students max, organised by the students in Week 1, the same group membership across the group assessment tasks. The case that will be the basis for this assignment is available on Wattle from Week 1. It depicts the story of the Lotus Formula 1 (F1) car racing team at a strategy crossroads. In brief, your goal is to design a strategy that solves the problems that this particular organisation is facing.

There are three main deliverables from this project, which cover assessment tasks 1, 2, and 3:

The first deliverable (assessment task 1) a memo you would give to your client, outlining the scope of the strategy work that you intend to do for them. This is expected to be 250 words, and in reality, is to create an opportunity for you to get feedback on your intended plans for this assessment. This is due on Wednesday in week 5 (23 March 2022).

The preferred approach to coming up with a strategy recommendation is to follow the “diagnosis - guiding principle - coherent actions” framework that Rumelt suggests in his book “Good Strategy / Bad Strategy”. The essence of this framework is also available in the McKinsey Insight article titled “The perils of bad strategy” that is prescribed reading for week 1. A link to the article is available on wattle. What would be critical is how you use the information available in the case to converge on your diagnosis. The suitability of your “guiding principle” to your diagnosis, the executability of your recommended coordinated actions, as well as its coherence with the guiding principle are also important.

Your analysis should also be based in some ways on what you think are the sources of competitive advantage for this organisation. You might use the readings prescribed for week 4 (available on wattle) as a means of identifying where competitive advantage comes from for this particular organisation.

Finally, you might try to use the information in the case to conduct a brief industry and strategic positioning analysis, along the lines of what we discuss in class.

I will leave it up to you to find ways of incorporating all the above elements into one coherent and cogent strategy recommendation for this particular organisation. The end product needs to be a polished strategy document that the management team of Lotus would be happy to accept and implement.

Marking criteria for this assessment will be available on wattle at least two weeks before submission date. A penalty will apply if you exceed the task word count by more than 10%.

The memo must include a statement of individual contribution to allow individual mark adjustments (if applicable).

Due Date: 3pm Wednesday, 23 March 2022 Week 5 through Turnitin on the course Wattle site

Feedback Date: 3pm Friday 01 April 2022

Assessment Task 2

Strategy write-up (Group work and group assessment)

Given this is a course on strategy, it is only natural that one of the key assessment items is a strategy project. You complete this as a group. We expect that groups will be of three to four students max. The case that will be the basis for this assignment is available on Wattle. It depicts the story of the Lotus Formula 1 (F1) car racing team at a strategy crossroads. In brief, your goal is to design a strategy that solves the problems that this particular organisation is facing.

There are three main deliverables from this project, which cover assessment tasks 1, 2, and 3:

The second deliverable (assessment task 2) is the write-up of your strategy. This is due on Wednesday of week 9 and needs to be 2,000 words in length

The preferred approach to coming up with a strategy recommendation is to follow the “diagnosis - guiding principle - coherent actions” framework that Rumelt suggests in his book “Good Strategy / Bad Strategy”. The essence of this framework is also available in the McKinsey Insight article titled “The perils of bad strategy” that is prescribed reading for week 1. A link to the article is available on wattle.

Assessment Task 3

Strategy presentation (Group work but individual assessment)

Given this is a course on strategy, it is only natural that one of the key assessment items is a strategy project. You complete this as a group. We expect that groups will be of three to four students max. The case that will be the basis for this assignment is available on Wattle. It depicts the story of the Lotus Formula 1 (F1) car racing team at a strategy crossroads. In brief, your goal is to design a strategy that solves the problems that this particular organisation is facing.

There are three main deliverables from this project, which cover assessment tasks 1, 2, and 3:

The third deliverable (assessment task 3), is a 10-15 minute presentation of your strategy recommendation to the (fictitious) management team of these organisations, followed by a 5-minute question and answer period. This will happen in- class in weeks 10 and/or 11 (depending on the number of students in the course). Each group member is expected to present a portion of the group's presentation. While the client memo and strategy report are treated as group assessments, the presentation will be marked as an individual assessment item. Presentations will be recorded via Echo360, which will enable later validation and verification of assessment if required (in accordance with ANU Student Assessment (Coursework) policy). 

The preferred approach to coming up with a strategy recommendation is to follow the “diagnosis - guiding principle - coherent actions” framework that Rumelt suggests in his book “Good Strategy / Bad Strategy”. The essence of this framework is also available in the McKinsey Insight article titled “The perils of bad strategy” that is prescribed reading for week 1. A link to the article is available on wattle.

Feedback Date: 3pm Monday, 23 May 2022 Week 12

Assessment Task 4

Reflective essay (Individual assessment)

There are three sets of journal articles that are assigned readings for weeks 2, 3, and 4. Links to these are available on Wattle and on this outline. Each set contains articles representing different viewpoints in a debate relevant to the strategy field of knowledge. And across the articles in each set, there is a storyline that, in some cases, depicts the evolution of the debate over time. In the reflective essay assessment, you will record your reflections on one of the three sets of readings.

So, as a first step, you will choose one of the three sets of readings. For example, if you were interested in the ‘economics’ versus ‘behavioural’ perspectives in strategy, you would choose the set of readings that were assigned for week 2. If, on the other hand, you were interested in reflecting on various perspectives on the ‘sources of competitive advantage’, you would choose the readings for week 4.

As the second step, you would read these papers carefully. I am aware that some of the articles are dense, and may not be easily comprehended. That is OK. Our interest is in the overall ideas of the papers, rather than their intricate technical details. You should then also search for and gather more journal papers that are relevant to the topic / debate for that week. Naturally, I cannot assign ALL the relevant papers in a debate as reading material. I have picked and chosen a few key ones. Your reflective piece would be all the better if you reach out to more papers beyond the ones that I have recommended.

As the third step, I would like you to sit back and reflect on what you have read. Think about being in an intellectual café, conversing with the group of authors of the papers you have read. What would you say to them about their collective work. Do you think their collective work is interesting and important? Is it compelling? Is it exciting? Do you think that, as a group, they have been on the right track to finding answers to the issues they have been debating? Do you think there could be ways to integrate their work together? Is there a storyline that connects their work together? If they invite you to come back again to join them for coffee so they can listen to your deep insights, what would your comments to them look like? These are some of the questions that you might keep in mind while reflecting on the papers.

What you need to submit (i.e., your “deliverable”) is your 500 word written version of this reflection in PDF format. The word count is exclusive of references, tables, etc. A penalty will apply if you exceed the task word count by more than 10%.

In the written reflection, you need to include the following:

1. (a) A title that that you have come up with that clearly implies which of the three sets of readings you are basing your reflection on
2. (b) A very brief overview of the papers you have chosen to reflect on (at the minimum, these should consist of the assigned papers). In the overview, your focus should be on highlighting the storyline that connects the papers. What we don’t want is a “he said this”, “she said that” account.
3. (c ) The larger part of the reflective report should be your own reflections on what you have read. You need to try and bring precision and coherency into your reflection, and also, you need to try and demonstrate deeper levels of thinking and insight. You need to say what you might do as a scholar to either extend the body of work you have just read. For example, you might suggest ways of evaluating competing arguments or standpoints in the debate. Or, alternatively, you might suggest ways to integrate the competing viewpoints in the literature into one coherent, mutually compatible view. Whatever you do, you should try hard to make unique and insightful observations. After all, this is a reflective piece and not a standard essay assignment. Feel free to use figures, tables, or charts if they better convey your ideas. But do also describe your figures and charts in the text.
4. (d) Finally, you need to include full references to all the papers you have read and reflected on in this piece. Harvard style referencing is what we usually require.

Marking criteria for this assessment will be available on wattle at least two weeks before submission date.. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.

Due Date: 3pm Wednesday, 18 May 2022 Week 11 through Turnitin on the course Wattle site

Feedback Date: 3pm Friday, 27 May 2022 Week 12

Assessment Task 5

Take home task

The final assessment will be an open-book take-home task (1250 words) that will require you to (a) reflect on one or more topics from the course (b) provide short answers to questions (some of which may be based on a short case study) drawn from the topics covered in the course. Questions will require you to both identify and more particularly demonstrate that you are able to apply course materials/models/concepts/frameworks. Questions will be available on Wattle on Friday in Week 12. A penalty will apply if you exceed the task word count by more than 10%.

Late submissions are not allowed for this assessment task.
