Many Babson students intend to lead a business, a functional area, or become an influential consultant or analyst. These careers require an integrated understanding of business, corporate, and global strategy formulation and implementation. The Strategic Management concentration requires two core courses to give students an in-depth understanding of the various dimensions of Strategic Management: industry and competitor analysis, corporate strategy, multinational strategy, and strategy implementation. By offering a diverse menu of courses in other disciplines (up to two may be taken), the concentration enables students to develop valuable capabilities for one of four career directions:

• Strategy Consulting or Strategic Planning
• Information Technology Management, Human Resources, or Marketing Consulting
• Equity Analysis or Investment Management or
• Management of a functional area (Finance, Marketing, Information Technology, or Human Resources).
