| Course Description | This course aims at introducing undergraduate students from all disciplines to the concepts of strategy, strategic thinking, and strategic decision-making in an interdependent and uncertain international security environment. Students will be first given the theoretical foundations of strategic thinking and decision-making through the assigned book chapters and journal articles. Then, students will enhance their understanding of strategic thinking and planning, strategic decision-making processes, and the significance of leadership in difficult crisis times through the case studies that will be presented by the first-hand observers who have been involved in the crisis in mention. | ||||
