Breve introdução

This Course is taught in English. The focus of the course will be on developing skills in three critical activities (and their tools) for the world of today:(1) Scanning the organisational environment by exploring different types of approaches and tools (how to find the right trends and key uncertainties?); (2) Development and exploration of strategic scenarios (how to explore the future in a systematic and evidence-based way?); (3) Strategic agility and resilience through the exploration of Strategic Management concepts and tools, in close coordination with Foresight and Scenarios (how to link possible futures with current strategies?)
