The course contains both classic and contemporary thoughts on strategy. The classic views represent the canon of the field of strategy and include models and concepts that students of strategy are expected to know. In the course, this inevitable heritage of theories and models is complemented with more contemporary ideas on strategy which also serve as a vehicle for challenging some of the classic ideas.
