Non-market Strategy

University:
Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (Chile)

2017

This course of ‘Non-market Strategy’ examines the interactions between firm strategy and its business environment. It focuses on firms’ nonmarket strategies as it considers how managers should determine the firm’s actions in relation to the law, regulation and public policy.

The course views the business environment through the lens of general management, asking how legal and social factors contribute to the performance of companies and how managers can harness these forces to their firm’s advantage. Topics include issues related to market and government failure, activism, the media, several dimensions of regulation, antitrust, intellectual property, activism and the interaction between markets and the law.
