In this course you will learn how corporations create, capture, and maintain value, going beyond the management of a single line of business. It is thus a complement to (and should typically follow) a course on Business Strategy, which focuses on developing and sustaining competitive advantage for a single business unit. Here, you will be able to better understand and learn the tools to analyze and manage decisions from a corporate-level perspective, which emphasizes the management of multiple businesses and multiple stakeholders. Examples of such decisions include vertical integration, diversification, mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances, international expansion, global strategy, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.

TOP REVIEWS FROM CORPORATE STRATEGY
I found this course interesting and a good compliment for the other specialization courses. I don't think it would be as valuable as a stand alone class.
Really happy about the content of the course as it is recent and updated.
Case Studies are also interesting keeping in mind with the interests of present youth.
This is a great course and it explains it well. Information I have always thought about but never had a chance to learn.
I really liked how the professors set up the lectures. They were very dynamic and I appreciate the current references.
