Prof Michael is good but Prof Jared is a little too non-specific and general. I would have preferred if he had been in-depth on some of his examples instead of glossing over a list of names without going into further detail. Overall, the course is not bad as an introduction to strategy, but a little basic. It would be improved if some of the tools could be applied to real world case studies to show some novel strategies or missed opportunities that these firms could apply.

I enjoyed the content, the case studies were really good to analyze and understand the reality of these strategies. I specially enjoyed the stakeholders management study case in which media, government and community really had an impact on the execution and implementation of the GE company. Let's keep learning!

The first chapter is very repetitive and the multiple choice questions are also not very smart. The cases are nice though and all in all I feel much better prepared to analyse a company's strategic position after having taking these two courses.

My first course on Coursera was Fundamentals of Business Strategy, by professor M. Lenox. When I saw this course coming, I had no doubt I have to take it. I like it for being short, compressed, professional and straight to the point!

the course is built to provide the most relevant and important info. At the same time there are issues which are good to know but I would prefer to have it as a supplementary info (e.g. classification of distributional conflict)

Course exceed my expectations however the certificate is not consistent with the program description. Instead of being a Virginia University course looks more like a Coursera course just endorsed by UV.

Not as good as the first course. Even though I learned about corporate strategy and a couple of fundamental concepts, this course didn't provide me many useful tools.

The content was very good and informative. It just that I couldn't relate the later part of the module as I have not been a part of any industry as such.

I liked the course and course content but the concept of peer reviewing and waiting for someone to peer-review your final assignment is really tiring.
