Continous change in competitive environments has forced companies in almost every sector to re-examine their strategy. The strategy revolution is being herladed by managers and practitioners as the new hallmark of organisational excellence.

“The Erasmus Executive Programme in Strategic Management will help you in opening up NEW SOURCES OF MANAGERIAL INSIGHTS and competitive advantage. TOP INTERNATIONAL LECTURERS will provide you with substantial knowledge and skills, as well as the broad analytical concepts, tools and mindsets required for a successful lifelong career. Mastering the delicate balance of applying STRATEGIC SKILLS and strategic CONCEPTS prepares you for a world of general management career opportunities.”

As one of the leading teaching institutions in Strategy in Europe, we are pleased to present this cutting edge executive programme in strategic management that will provide answers to key questions such as: 

  • How do managers develop dynamic capabilities for strategic renewal using unique resources, routines and core competencies?
  • How can firms and business units redraw boundaries and manage effective internationalisation including alliances, networking and physical vs virtual value chain?  
  • How do managers develop and implement viable strategy configurations for sustainable competitive advantage in terms of aligning strategy, structure, systems and culture?

 

Why choose the Erasmus Executive Programme in Strategic Management?
  • Rotterdam School of Management is a European leader in teaching strategy.  
  • The study of strategic management gives critical insight into why some companies succeed where others fail.  
  • Strategic Management equips practitioners and managers with skills in strategic analysis (the position of the organisation and its business units in terms of its internal resources and competences as well as external environment and stake holders), strategic choice (the options open to the organisation and its business units) and strategy implementation (the adaptation of organisational and managerial processes).
