University of Leeds, MSc, Strategic Management in the Global Environment

Strategy is the cornerstone of every business - it provides an overall direction to the organisation, whilst defining its relationship with both the internal environment (organisational characteristics) and the external micro and macro environment (industry, economy). In today's dynamic and hypercompetitive markets, strategists are constantly challenged to envisage innovative ways to link their organisation's resources and capabilities with those external opportunities that secure sustainable performance.

Our MSc Strategic Management in the Global Environment is a collaborative programme between the Management, International Business and Economics divisions of Leeds University Business School. It helps you appreciate the importance of strategy for businesses and the skill set required to compete globally. You develop a unique blend of skills, master analytical tools and techniques, and understand how to formulate and implement strategy in the global arena.

It is ideal if you have strong analytical skills - you need to show a good degree in a business-related subject and a good grounding in quantitative subjects.
