The strategy minor is open to undergraduate business students with any major or concentration. The curriculum develops students’ ability to assume the role of a general manager and to think constructively about the strategic focus and direction of an organization, as well as its relative competitive strengths and weaknesses. Broad topics include the appropriate criteria and processes for general management decision making, especially under conditions of uncertainty; strategies a firm can follow in order to gain competitive advantage when entering into, competing within, and exiting from individual markets and how these strategies interact when the firm competes in several markets; and the optimal boundaries of the firm—the advantages and disadvantages its unique history and resources give it. The strategy minor may be of particular interest for students who plan to pursue careers in general management, management consulting, new venture management, venture capital, corporate planning, and investment banking.
