Strategic Management: Leadership, Management & Administration

The publication of this Learning Management System was developed as an alternative to years of study in a traditional academic setting, serving herein as a learning tool to help present viewers with an overview of the science of Strategic Management. A certificate is available for completion through Udemy.com. Human Resource departments may thus accept Udemy Certificates of Completion to be entered into an employee's file documenting their work-related continued-education progression.

While on the surface, it may appear that business is becoming increasingly complex, in reality, business principles, standards, and ethics in most professional occupations generally only change incrementally. Since the development of the bellows (a tool that made fire hot enough to melt ore and make iron and thus leading to the iron age), products have become increasingly more complex ever since. There seems to be no limit to what inventive minds can manufacture. All products are going to require designing, testing, production, marketing, distribution, etc. Many of the steps of going from the drawing board to the shopping cart will remain the same. Management must put together a plan to exploit an opportunity, and the rank and file workers must break a sweat and make it happen.

The objective should be to draw from this publication information that is relevant to strategic business plans and become a nascent entrepreneur. As a nascent entrepreneur you are starting the process of initiating a business strategy and it can be for-profit or not-for-profit, small, medium or large, short-term or long-term. You gather information and start developing a business strategy. You set milestones on how to get to your planned objective and then figure out the stepping stones to get you to your milestones.
