Summary: Join us online for an engaging Masterclass on Strategic Decision Making & Competitive Advantage by Prof. Paul Patton, Course Director, Strategy & Competition at Alliance Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester, to explore and discuss topical issues influencing current strategic decision-making and competitive advantage.

We live in a strategic interdependent business world where the success of an organisation’s strategy and its competitive advantage, depends greatly on the strategies implemented by the organisation itself and also those adopted by rival organisations.

Hence, we need to understand strategic tools such as Transaction Cost Economics, Resource-Based View of the Firm, and Game Theory. This enables us to understand both the internal and external strategies adopted and the effective use of strategic-planning tools. Organisations need to fully understand themselves as well as competitors requiring them to correctly define the key elements of the strategic game, especially the strategic options and objectives of rival players.
