Course Description

If you want to be a business owner or a corporate executive whose job involves business decisions, then you will certainly need to master three fundamental disciplines:

Business Strategy

Management and Leadership

Marketing Strategy

There is no way around that. It is possible to be an entrepreneur and a CEO with an engineering background and without an MBA or a business degree; what is not possible is being either of those things without having a clue about:

The industry lifecycle model and its four stages: Introduction, Growth, Maturity, and Decline

Porters five forces model

The bargaining power of buyers

The bargaining power of clients

The threat of new entrants

The threat of substitute products

Game theory

The typical company lifecycle

What a competitive advantage is

How to choose the optimal competitive strategy: Cost leadership, Differentiation, or Niche

The dangers of pursuing a hybrid strategy

How to choose whether to grow organically or through M&A

The difference between horizontal and vertical integration

The advantages and dangers of outsourcing

How to apply a SWOT analysis in practice

These are interesting and important topics and you cant expect to build a solid business if you have not studied them in detail.

This is precisely why this is an excellent course! Each of these concepts is explained in a clear and effective way and we touch on all topics with the necessary level of detail.

The course contains plenty of real-life examples, which makes it even more fun and easy to understand. In addition, we have prepared a ton of supplemental resources for you: quiz questions with explanations, course notes, PDF files, and so on.
