Overview
In this introductory unit, you will explore why organisations exist, how they position and organise themselves within dynamic and competitive environments, and how managers use analytical tools to make informed strategic decisions. You will learn to assess both the external environment and an organisation’s internal capabilities, and you will practice applying these insights to real and hypothetical cases. Throughout the unit, you will build a macro-level understanding of management that emphasises strategic thinking, evidence-based decision-making, and the technical systems that support organisational performance.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Apply strategic management theories, models, and principles, using digital capabilities, to critically analyse challenges and opportunities in an organisation’s external and internal environments. [KS 1.2, HO 2.1, SE 5.1]
- Communicate in a professional manner for business audiences. [PC 3.1, 3.2]
- Work effectively and equitably within a team to apply strategic management theories, models, and digital capabilities to deliver a set of evidence-based recommendations. [KS 1.2, HO 2.2, TS 4.2]
- Identify appropriate socially responsible issues relevant to strategic decision making. [SE 5.2]Relates to: UG Business Capabilities 2027: SE (5.2)
Content
In this unit, you will learn how organisations create value, compete, and grow in dynamic environments. You will develop the skills to analyse an organisation’s external environment, internal capabilities, and strategic position, and you will apply these insights to real-world case studies and group-based problem-solving.
Across the semester, you will explore core strategy concepts, including how competitive advantage is achieved, how markets and industries evolve, and how organisations can leverage their resources and capabilities to pursue growth. You will also examine high-performing teams, corporate social responsibility, and effective strategic communication.
QUT Business Capabilities (Undergraduate)
The content and assessment in this unit are aligned to a selection of the following set of QUT Business Capabilities, also known as Assurance of Learning Goals (AoLs). Developing these capabilities will assist you to meet the desired graduate outcomes set at QUT and equip you with the knowledge and skills to succeed in your chosen career.

Overview
In this introductory unit, you will explore why organisations exist, how they position and organise themselves within dynamic and competitive environments, and how managers use analytical tools to make informed strategic decisions. You will learn to assess both the external environment and an organisation’s internal capabilities, and you will practice applying these insights to real and hypothetical cases. Throughout the unit, you will build a macro-level understanding of management that emphasises strategic thinking, evidence-based decision-making, and the technical systems that support organisational performance.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Apply strategic management theories, models, and principles, using digital capabilities, to critically analyse challenges and opportunities in an organisation’s external and internal environments. [KS 1.2, HO 2.1, SE 5.1]
- Communicate in a professional manner for business audiences. [PC 3.1, 3.2]
- Work effectively and equitably within a team to apply strategic management theories, models, and digital capabilities to deliver a set of evidence-based recommendations. [KS 1.2, HO 2.2, TS 4.2]
- Identify appropriate socially responsible issues relevant to strategic decision making. [SE 5.2]Relates to: UG Business Capabilities 2027: SE (5.2)
Content
In this unit, you will learn how organisations create value, compete, and grow in dynamic environments. You will develop the skills to analyse an organisation’s external environment, internal capabilities, and strategic position, and you will apply these insights to real-world case studies and group-based problem-solving.
Across the semester, you will explore core strategy concepts, including how competitive advantage is achieved, how markets and industries evolve, and how organisations can leverage their resources and capabilities to pursue growth. You will also examine high-performing teams, corporate social responsibility, and effective strategic communication.
QUT Business Capabilities (Undergraduate)
The content and assessment in this unit are aligned to a selection of the following set of QUT Business Capabilities, also known as Assurance of Learning Goals (AoLs). Developing these capabilities will assist you to meet the desired graduate outcomes set at QUT and equip you with the knowledge and skills to succeed in your chosen career.

Learning Approaches
This unit examines core strategic management theories and exemplar cases to understand and explore the analysis and integration of critical assumptions and conditions to identify, diagnose, problem solve, and devise strategies. Through a combination of learning activities and applied assessments, you will learn to conduct strategic analysis, identify opportunities and challenges, generate evidence-based recommendations, and present your findings in a clear, logical, and persuasive manner.
In this unit, you will also develop foundational skills in using GenAI to support strategic analysis, competitive evaluation, and environmental scanning—core activities in contemporary management practice. Accordingly, this unit positions GenAI as an analytical and sense-making tool that assists (but does not replace) human strategic judgement.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Students will receive feedback in various forms throughout the semester which may include:
- Informal: worked examples, such as verbal feedback in class, personal consultation
- Formal: in writing, such as checklists (e.g. criteria sheets), written commentary
- Direct: to individual students, either in written form or in consultation
- Indirect: to the whole class
