Strategy

The Owen strategy Concentration is designed to equip students of management with the core concepts, frameworks, and techniques of strategic management. Strategic management is about managing the enterprise to achieve superior performance. Thus, students will learn how to identify the sources of profit available to the business enterprise, and to formulate and implement strategies that exploit these sources of profit. Courses in the concentration will be analytical and will focus on senior management decisions that enhance profit maximization while taking into account the competitive response to those decisions.
