DBA 822 Seminar in Strategy and International Business Summer 2010 Tuesdays 6:50-9:50 Professor: Paul Fouts Office: Room 453 Hours: T: 4-6:30 or by appointment. Telephone: (415) 442-7026 Email: pfouts@ggu.edu Fax: (415) 442-6579 Home: (415) 751-3991 I. Course Description and content From the GGU catalogue: Covers the theory and practice of developing and implementing strategies for gaining competitive advantage in the global business environment. Students will master the theoretical body of knowledge in the field of strategic management and consider a variety of empirical approaches used to research the competitive strategy process. Students will explore the accelerating globalization of industries, regionalization of competition, and the institutional contexts that both facilitate and impede the formation and implementation of strategies globally. They will consider such emerging topics as organizational change, competitive dynamics, development of firm resources and capabilities, sustainable competitive advantage, regional approaches to competitive strategy, and the formation of new organizational forms such as strategic alliances and interfirm networks. On the one hand, strategy has been described as a singular discipline that is developing a body of knowledge concerned with a top-level managerial process of creating competitive advantage for a firm. On the other, strategy has been described as an arena, in which theoretical developments from many different disciplines are integrated in addressing the issues of developing competitive advantage. MBA courses, practitioners, and prescriptive authors generally treat strategy from the first perspective, largely because of the straightforward simplicity of this point of view. In this seminar, we will take the second perspective, and encourage an open examination of the underlying concepts and competing theories to the first perspective the dominant strategy paradigm as presented in undergraduate and graduate strategy texts. Additionally the course will take up the issue of global strategy as a major theme. An international or global perspective in the strategic management of a company has become so crucial, that any strategy must really be considered as a global strategy. However, that said, what does it mean to have a global strategy? In what ways is this different from a normal business strategy? What changes when competition crosses national boundaries? And what is different about strategies that must consider cross-border competition? It is the purpose of this course to explore these issues. In the process we will look at foreign competitive environments, differing business methods, and varied approaches to adapting managerial and organizational processes to new and different conditions. The approach of the course is theoretical and research driven. Our goal is to develop linkages between the practical and prescriptive oriented problem solving literature of the MBA perspective, and the more theoretical and research driven literature of the more eclectic body of thought. II. Course Objectives This seminar is designed to explore the theory, research, and practice in the field of business policy and strategy. We shall be studying not just theories of strategy, but the process of theorizing about strategy. That is you are expected to extend the ideas of our readings and discussions in creative ways, and not simply master existing theories and their practical applications. Accordingly we will be adopting a critical approach to discussing 1

theoretical topics, research approaches, practical applications, and controversial issues. My objective is an ambitious one: to make you the most creative, rigorous, articulate, leading edge thinkers and applied practitioners that you can possibly become. On a more pragmatic level: Students are expected to (1) become familiar with the theories, terminology and practice associated with strategic management at both the practitioner and the academic levels, (2) develop your research and analytic skills in developing theoretical arguments, (3) develop the ability to integrate theories from the academic level into relevant proscriptive analysis, and (4) to improve your skills in oral and written communication. III. Prerequisites DBA 801, DBA 803, and DBA 820, or the permission of the instructor. IV. Course Requirements, Expectations, and Evaluations Your scholarship will be evaluated on the basis of your: (a) term research paper, (b) class participation, and (c) final examination. Your grade in the course will be determined by my best professional judgment of how good a scholar you show yourself to be in all the above requirements, which are relatively equal in weight. a) Term Research Paper. You will conduct a review of the literature in an area germane to the field of global strategic management. At a minimum, your paper should (1) define the area of your study and the fields of theory and research that make up this area, (2) identify the past theory and research in the area, (3) evaluate the current state of knowledge, theory, and practice in this area, and (4) indicate the future direction the field should take (i.e., identify the unresolved issues and make suggestions for future theory and research). You are encouraged to be creative in your approaches to this paper. The length should be twenty to thirty pages, plus bibliography, in standard APA format. (b) Class Participation. You are expected to have read all the required readings, and to engage in a critical discussion of them in class. In a seminar setting, discussion and disciplined exchange is crucial. Your active listening in this process is as valid as your active participation. (c) Final Examination. This examination will be in a one hour comprehensive format. It will be closed book. The use of computers is encouraged. IV. Reading Materials Readings: The course readings will be made available to you during the course of the term. A list is of these readings is in the course schedule in this syllabus. Business Periodicals: It is recommended that you regularly read such current business periodicals as: The Wall Street Journal and its international versions, Business Week, Asia Week, The Economist, Forbes, Fortune, etc. Journals: It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the most recent issues (onetwo years) of the following journals: Academy of Management Review Academy of Management Journal California Management Review Harvard Business Review Journal of International Business Studies Journal of Management Long Range Planning 2
