Strategic Management
Course Description:
This capstone course integrates knowledge gained in previous graduate business courses. It centers on
the theme that organizations achieve sustained success when their managers have astute, timely
strategic game plans and they implement these plans with proficiency. Strategic management theory is
used in the analysis of companies operating in the domestic and global marketplace. This course is to be
taken in the student’s last term, unless otherwise approved by the Director of the MBA program.
Additional Details:
Unlike other business courses that concentrate narrowly on a particular function or piece of the business
(accounting, finance, marketing, production, human resources, or information systems), strategic
management is a “big picture” course. It cuts across the whole spectrum of business and management.
The center of attention is the total enterprise—the industry and competitive environment in which it
operates, its long-term direction and strategy, its resources and competitive capabilities, and its prospects
for success.
Throughout the course, the spotlight will be trained on the foremost issue in running a business
enterprise: “What must managers do, and do well, to make the company a winner in the game of
business?” The answer that emerges, and which becomes the theme of the course, is that good strategy-
making and good strategy-execution are the key ingredients of company success and the most reliable
signs of good management. The mission of the course is to explore why good strategic management
leads to good business performance, to present the basic concepts and tools of strategic analysis, and to
drill you in the methods of crafting a well-conceived strategy and executing it competently.
You will be called on to probe, question, and evaluate all aspects of a company’s external and internal
situation. You will grapple with sizing up a company’s standing in the marketplace and its ability to go
head-to-head with rivals, learn to tell the difference between winning strategies and mediocre strategies,
and become more skilled in spotting ways to improve a company’s strategy or its execution.
In the midst of all of this, another purpose is accomplished: to help you synthesize what you have learned
in prior business courses. Dealing with the grand sweep of how to manage all the pieces of a business
makes strategic management an integrative, capstone course in which you reach back to use concepts
and techniques covered in previous courses. For perhaps the first time, you will see how the various
pieces of the business puzzle fit together and why the different parts of a business need to be managed
in strategic harmony for the organization to operate in a winning fashion.

2. Your career starts here
The job market is more competitive than ever, but sharp analytical skills are always in demand.
In the Kellogg Certificate Program for Undergraduates, you’ll master graduate-level material in
business analytics and finance under the guidance of distinguished Kellogg professors. But the
program isn’t just for students interested in finance or consulting — the critical thinking skills you’ll
gain here are valuable in any line of work.
Whether you study English or engineering, economics or art history, these specialized skills will
help you launch a successful career. As you learn to approach the broad subject of your major with
the precision of financial analysis, you’ll be uniquely qualified to break down the trends in science,
technology, economics and politics on which many major business decisions hinge.
The program is open* to all Northwestern University juniors and seniors, regardless of home
school or major, who have completed advanced coursework in calculus, linear algebra, probability,
econometrics, statistics, and microeconomics.
The right track
Certificate Program students earn a certificate in either Financial Economics or Managerial Analytics.
FE students — who generally are interested in pursuing a career in finance — learn valuation tools and
financial applications, while the MA students develop analytic tools and skills used in business planning,
operations and consulting. Each track consists of four courses.
Students in both tracks hone their critical-thinking and communication skills and learn to navigate the
difficult terrain of the business world. Graduates may work in banking, investment banking, insurance,
asset management or consulting. They may work in any sector: private, public, for-profit or non-profit.
*Application required.
4. All FE certificate students take the following four courses.
Principles of Finance
This foundation course for the FE certificate is taken in the fall. The course discusses the principles of
finance and focuses on the effects of time and uncertainty on value. Students will learn valuation, includ-
ing discounted cash flows; equity and debt valuation; the term structure of interest rates; portfolio theory;
asset pricing; and efficient market theory. The course also examines firms’ financing decisions, including
capital budgeting, capital structure and payout policy.
Investments
Students will learn about active portfolio strategies in bonds and stocks, optimal portfolio selection from
the perspective of individual and institutional investors, and the role of style and performance benchmarks
in portfolio management. Special topics such as performance evaluation and trading costs are also covered.
Derivatives
This course covers the fundamentals of forwards, futures, options and related derivative securities. Associated
arbitrage pricing models and the use of derivatives in risk management are discussed in depth. Topics include
cash-and-carry strategies in forward markets, the notions of cost-of-carry and convenience yield, the optimal
exercise of American options, the binomial model, and the option pricing theory of Black, Merton and
Scholes.
Topics in Financial Economics
This course focuses on current issues in finance, and specific content varies from year to year. The class has
focused recently on value investing, empirical support for the value approach to investing, disruptions in
credit markets and the recent financial crisis. Other topics, including fixed income, will be the focus of
future courses.
Students earning the Financial Economics certificate will be prepared for
responsibilities that include:
Cash-flow analysis and financial modeling
Obtaining, financing and comparing capital
structure choices
Analysis of potential mergers and acquisitions
Capital budgeting and capital allocation
decisions
Portfolio investment and asset management
Risk management strategies
Research cash flow and valuation estimates
Support client interactions with analysis and
presentations
6. All MA certificate students take the following four courses.
Analytical Decision Modeling
Taken in the fall quarter, this foundation course involves structuring, analyzing and solving business deci-
sion problems using Excel spreadsheets. Problems of optimal resource allocation and risk analysis of decisions
involving uncertainty are considered. Some data analysis and demand forecasting is also covered. Topics include:
optimization by Solver, risk analysis by Monte Carlo simulation, analysis of sequential decisions by decision trees,
data analysis by pivot tables and filters, and demand forecasting by time series analysis. The focus of the course
will be on systematic, logical thinking and problem solving through applications and economic interpretations
rather than development of the underlying theory or algorithms.
Pricing
Students will compare the three main ways to set prices: haggling/negotiation, posted price and auctions, and
learn how to choose the best method in a given situation. They will also explore customizing the price of the
same product or service to different segments, using optimization models to set prices when volume is uncer-
tain, and pricing multiple products. This course also offers an introduction to some of the main techniques
(regression, conjoint analysis, EVC) for gathering information about buyer valuations and demands.
Operations and Supply Chain Strategy
This course provides a framework to discover the key capabilities an operation and a supply chain must
develop to support the business strategy of a firm, and the relationship between the desired capabilities and the
structure of a supply chain. Students will learn about methodologies that support operations and supply chain
strategy and planning decisions, using case studies and development of analytical spreadsheet models.
Principles of Finance
This course discusses the principles of finance and focuses on the effects of time and uncertainty on value.
Students will learn valuation, including discounted cash flows; equity and debt valuation; the term structure
of interest rates; portfolio theory; asset pricing; and efficient market theory. The course also examines firms’
financing decisions, including capital budgeting, capital structure and payout policy.
Students earning the Managerial Analytics certificate will be prepared for
responsibilities that include:
Analyzing business decisions on spreadsheets
Analysis of potential mergers and acquisitions
Investment decisions in a supply chain network
Analyzing and optimizing supply chain networks
Analysis to support pricing decisions
Statistical analysis of current trends in business
practices, products and industry competition
Using spreadsheets and statistical software to
analyze sales and operations and develop forecasts
Supporting client interactions with analysis and
presentations
