INTRODUCTION

 

What do I want to achieve?

What should I do to achieve my goal?

In this course and the following courses, we are going to learn about Strategy based on simple questions like the ones at the start of this lesson. To understand, we can say that strategy is all about knowing what we want and making the necessary steps to achieve our goals.

In this introductory course, we will try and view the basic concepts of strategy: what it is, how to use it and at what levels. We will show the current strategy tendencies used by companies or by any organization or person, to try to understand each of the strategic principles.

Each of the courses are linked, therefore it is important to follow the order in order to take advantage of them. There is a common point in all of the courses: we will see concepts through eye-catching graphs and current examples from companies, organizations and people, to give the student the understanding of each of the concepts that we talk about.

“Strategy is the great task of organization. In life or death situations, it is the Tao of survival or extinction. You can not avoid studying it."

“The maximum efficiency of knowledge and strategy is making conflict unnecessary".

Sun Tzu, “The art of war”.
