In this course you will learn how corporations create, capture, and maintain value, going beyond the management of a single line of business. It is thus a complement to (and should typically follow) a course on Business Strategy, which focuses on developing and sustaining competitive advantage for a single business unit. Here, you will be able to better understand and learn the tools to analyze and manage decisions from a corporate-level perspective, which emphasizes the management of multiple businesses and multiple stakeholders. Examples of such decisions include vertical integration, diversification, mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances, international expansion, global strategy, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.

Great Course about the basic concepts needed to learn about corporate strategy! Highly recommend to people who are interested in obtaining the required concepts.
Course offers high-level business skills, explains the structure of corporate firm and its functions. Highly suggested course for business enthusiasts.
I found this course interesting and a good compliment for the other specialization courses. I don't think it would be as valuable as a stand alone class.
Good course but I find quizes very different from what we get from the class. Very interesing way to show the subject and I liked real examples.
