knowledge I have gained in the Strategic Management Module enables me to
better understand the business structure and environment of a business
internally.
LO3: “be able to analyse and evaluate case study information in a critical and
informed way”.
I have gradually developed my analytical and critical thinking skills since the
second week of my study. Over the weeks, I have gained valuable knowledge
and learnt essential theoretical concepts in relation to management and
strategy. Importantly, interesting case studies (e.g. McDonald, Nike, Brompton
Bikes, Apple, AOL, etc) the lecturer has provided in the Strategic
Management Module allowed me to link theory with real-life cases and
consequently helped me to analyse and evaluate case study information in a
critical and informed way.
LO4: “be able to identify key issues, evaluate alternatives and make
conclusions based on thorough analysis”.
The knowledge I have learnt assists me to better analyse and evaluate real-
life business problems and thus to design strategies accordingly. I have
analysed my own learning journey and summarised that I can be able to
identify core factors in the business as well as the industry, evaluate
alternative strategies and thus to make efficient solutions for the company.

For example, I have learnt fundamental theories and concepts of practice of
strategy in week 2 and 3; I have also applied internal and external analysis
(week 4 – 7); I have learnt the different levels of alternative strategy choices
(week 8 – 10); and by the end of the module, I will be able to gain insights into
to the strategic methods and evaluations (week 11 – 13).
