Business leaders, managers, consultants and MBA graduates are often required to analyze complex business situations, evaluate strategic options and make effective decisions. Yet many courses focus heavily on theory and provide limited opportunity to apply concepts to real business challenges.
This course takes a different approach.
You will learn business analysis, strategic thinking and management decision-making through detailed Harvard-style case studies of leading organizations including Nike, Disney, Google and Aravind.
Rather than memorizing management concepts, you will learn how to apply them to real-world business situations and develop practical skills that can be used across management, consulting, business analysis, leadership and entrepreneurial roles.
The course follows a structured case analysis framework that helps you:
• Identify and define key business challenges
• Analyze marketing, corporate, customer value and operations strategies
• Apply relevant management and business frameworks
• Evaluate strategic effectiveness and business performance
• Compare historical strategies with current business trends and technologies
• Assess future opportunities, risks and strategic options
• Develop evidence-based recommendations
• Extract practical lessons that can be applied across industries
Through detailed analysis of four diverse organizations, you will gain exposure to multiple management disciplines:
NIKE – Marketing Strategy Analysis

DISNEY – Customer Value Creation Strategy
