Advanced Competitive Strategy

Competitive Strategy and Organization Design,

Advanced Competitive Strategy will introduce new topics and modules with even more real world examples and opportunities for student interaction than in the previous course Competitive Strategy (https://www.coursera.org/learn/competitivestrategy). In Advanced Competitive Strategy, we will look at how companies can build up and maintain their customer base by increasing switching costs and facilitating strategic customer lock-ins. We will find out how firms can increase their profits by pursuing suitable price discrimination and product differentiation strategies. We will look at examples of what is acceptable behavior under the premises of EU competition and US antitrust policies and discover exciting ways of how companies can increase their returns by strategically making use of network effects and economies of size. We will further intensify our newly acquired knowledge about network effects and discuss strategies that are explicitly tailored to network markets. We will analyze the workings of mergers and acquisitions and, moreover, support you in considering alternative strategies that can help companies grow organically.

competitive strategy

A slightly harder and more confusing version of Competitive Strategy - whilst not formally requiring CS as a prerequisite I did find this course quite difficult even having done the beginner version.

ADVANCED COMPETITIVE STRATEGY Too theoretical.

Very informative and I learned a lot Valuable sequel to course Competitive Strategy by the same author.

it was great learning such interesting issues Nice addition to the "Competitive Strategy" course, although not as interesting and practical as the first part... Cases and current examples would have made this section much better.Prof.

Great extension of the Competitive Strategy Course; looking forward to the next class.

Interesting course but after "Competitive Strategy" I was expecting to go deeper.

Great course, a bit more realistic than Competitive Strategy.

The course is really good at teaching the various aspects of competitive strategy.

learn a lot

Even if his showmanship is not for every professor (gladly; it would sound fake if it was mandatory), many can learn a lot from how carefully Kretschmer scripts his videos.

I'm sure unless you're an expert in the area you'll learn a lot.
