School: Competitive Tactics
Friday, April 8th, 2011 at 17:59 | categories: School
Since the school is almost done, it’s time to go through the classes I’ve had during the semester. This is also a mandatory part of the Erasmus blog. I’ll start with a course about strategies.
The Competitive Tactics course is an economists view to what happens in different markets, how different players act and what kinds of strategies companies can have in order to survive and gain maximum profits. We’ve learned what kind of strategies small companies that enter a market can implement and on the other hand how big companies can set up barriers to entry or destroy new entrants in the market.
While the subjects on the class touch on some things taught in my university of Lappeenranta, the course is something we really don’t have. The professor was American and therefore most of the examples were from the US markets. The grade consists of four quizzes and a 10-15 page paper + a presentation. This course was the most demanding during the semester in terms of work load. That doesn’t mean it was incredibly difficult, though.
The course is worth 4 ECTS.
