  Course contents

  Globalization means that the forces of change, complexity, and competition are relentlessly growing. Technologies become irrelevant overnight and competitors appear seemingly without warning. Companies must deal with these forces by developing strategies that will provide sustainable sources of competitive advantage. The first phase, and therefore the bedrock, of any strategic decision process revolves around research and analysis. Companies increasingly employ Competitive Intelligence to drive this phase and, as a result, to make better decisions.
  
  Competitive Intelligence offers actionable foresight related to industry evolution, customers, suppliers, competitor rivalry, and one’s own organization to help companies understand their business environment. Competitive Intelligence is commonly used to support, for example, the strategy process, mergers & acquisitions, new product development, and geographic expansion.
  
  The course begins by placing Competitive Intelligence in historical, institutional and strategic context. The generic intelligence process and the role of Competitive Intelligence are also introduced.
  
  It continues by introducing some of the key methods and techniques used to assess one or more elements of an organization’s business environment and its position therein, including:
  
  • SWOT
  • Industry analysis (Five forces)
  • Macro environmental analysis (PESTLE)
  • Scenario analysis

  Upon course completion, the student will have problem solving skills; be able to write up a competent “white paper” or case study; will have a more active marketing terminology lexicon (learned in previous Marketing courses); will be more practiced in presentations, search-and-find online research; will have worked in teams and so created consolidation and further development of existing disciplinary knowledge through application in a real life situation.
  This course exams closely cases of Marketing, International Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Ethics, Corporate Strategy and other courses in a business curriculum; it shows a connection to the Marketing Process through its situational analyses of cases and other examples of business behaviour; it allows more application of the terminology learned in other courses; it also shows situational analysis decision-making process connection to Marketing Research; it provides further example (through the cases et al) for courses on Ethics, Management, Organizational Behaviour, and so on; it further develops skills learned in writing and Business Communication , and IT courses (through writing, teamwork and presentation).
  Related competencies of the degree programme
  There is a micro-, mezzo-, and macro-approach to each course, so the interrelationships with the rest of the business curriculum, the field itself, as well as the community, are quite explicit, and therefore most competencies and knowledge elements listed in the “Competencies of the Degree Programme” section are at least addressed if not stressed. The course on a micro-level covers specific theories, terms and tools within the “Marketing System” and/or within that subject’s particular area of study (whether Basic Marketing, International Marketing, Marketing Research, Entrepreneurship, Corporate Strategy, etc. – all have specific bases of orientations, models, theories and processes); on a mezzo-level it handles its connection to other courses of the curriculum and often offers cross-boundary projects; and on a macro-level the programme handles larger issues such as ethical considerations, life-long learning, cross-cultural and cross-functional perspectives, long term sustainability, community development, and so on). As a result, specific, as well as deeper and broad-based methods, applications and experiences are covered, while the different competencies (whether developmental, social, communicative, etc.) are nurtured.

  Further information

  Central to this course is the application of critical, analytical thinking. The identification and analysis of problems very often depends on the theoretical tools that we employ. Therefore also the limitations of these tools must be acknowledged. Economics provides many useful and illuminating concepts that give insights regarding the existence of market power and the persistence of market failure. Creating solutions to these problems often involves the critical evaluation of the tools used during this process. In this way we become more accustomed to recognising the bounded nature of our understanding. Equally, it is also possible, even necessary, to exploit our understanding's ability to adapt and develop.
