No longer offered. It was in Waterloo’s course catalog since at least Winter 2020 (as far back as Open Data goes) to Spring 2021. It isn’t in the 2024–25 or later calendars.
In the course catalog from Winter 2020 to Spring 2021; Open Data has no classes for it in that time.
This course covers (a) the competitive strategy that a firm uses in its product markets, and (b) the firm's organizational strategy, i.e., how the firm organizes to meet its objectives. The course will be taught from an economic perspective, but findings from other social sciences will also be presented along with their impact on the strategy-making and implementation process. A special focus will be placed on technology firms. [Offered: S]

u/ece_te: “Not sure if it's super relevant but I was linked to this blog that Peter Carr (instructor for MSCI 421) uses. He still updates it, so I guess it will be used in your iteration of the course. …”

Bird courses that you can get 90+ in? 1 point, 18 comments
“Are there any bird courses you can get a 90+ in? Nothing subjective like English where it's based off essays, but calculation based so you answer is either right or wrong.”
u/KieranJin: “MSci 421, 442 Well, the exams are essays, so...”
