Strategic Competence Development 7,5 Credits

“Competence development for professionals” aims to equip and develop individuals with the competence needed to upskill their existing skills responding to crises. The extreme situation, for instance, we are facing in the present times in the form of corona crises, which had put businesses regardless of employee size and financial capacity at a difficult and challenging situation and leaving vast numbers of people without jobs. The need for better preparing our people working in Sweden already existed, and with the new turns of events, it has further escalated and warrants that we develop our workforce with a competitive and specific skill set to respond to any such situation. This course stimulates students to analyse and develop strategic competencies for key functional aspects of organizational strategy, among those competencies are leadership, change, culture, entrepreneurship and innovation.
