MGT 871 - The Strategic Management of Healthcare Organizations, 3 credit hours

This capstone course represents the culmination of the executive’s two-year program. The science of strategic analysis and strategic management is taught along with competitive assessment, and strategic planning. The student learns what it’s like to be the CEO, by taking these skills, and applying this knowledge real time within an actual organization. In the process, the executive learns how to formulate decisions based on the analysis, and how to implement these decisions given the organization’s capabilities and limitations. The executives develop a multi-year strategic blueprint for the company and make an executive presentation of the plan to the senior management of the organization. Leadership, culture, structure, organization design and change management are key aspects of the implementation/execution process and are woven into this course.
