Global Strategy
Global Strategy is a three-day core module in the Global Leader program and can be also taken as a stand-alone program.
Strategy is not about setting goals but solving problems: identifying a path for a company to succeed in an ever-changing environment with global competition, and successfully pursuing that path. Strategy is a unique topic in management as it cuts across all specializations from finance and marketing to leadership and innovation.
The Global Strategy program focuses on the fundamental issues in strategy planning and will give you the skills needed to develop the long-term viability of your organization.
Up to 4.5 ECTS credits can be transferred from the Global Strategy program to the Aalto Executive MBA or Aalto MBA program.
