Syllabus

WEEK 1
Cuide dos seus concorrentes
Neste módulo, apresentamos os conceitos básicos da teoria de jogos e usamos jogos estratégicos para aprender sobre análise da concorrência. Respondemos “o que é uma estratégia” e analisamos modos diferentes de determinar a melhor estratégia, ou a dominante. Também discutimos os conceitos de equilíbrio de Nash e dilema do prisioneiro, e aprendemos que é importante antecipar e levar em consideração as ações de outros jogadores. Por fim, analisamos o que acontece quando mudamos o jogo de simultâneo (onde todos agem do mesmo modo) para sequencial (onde os jogadores se movem um depois do outro).

WEEK 2
Por que as empresas trabalham juntas
Segundo a teoria econômica, as empresas competem umas com as outras no mercado. Na realidade, elas costumam cooperar amistosamente umas com as outras. Neste módulo, tentamos entender essa estratégia, e por que isso é bom para as organizações envolvidas. Com isso, avaliamos os fatores que incentivam ou atrapalham a cooperação e os aplicaremos com diferentes exemplos.

WEEK 3
Produtos complementares e parcerias estratégicas
Neste módulo, apresentamos os complementos e discutimos o que eles significam para nós em termos econômicos. Estudamos por que as empresas gostam de vender seus produtos em pacote, e como a complementaridade cria custos de troca. Também discutimos a importância dessa coordenação entre as empresas com produtos complementares. Por fim, analisamos as parcerias estratégicas como ferramenta eficiente para alinhar os interesses das empresas nesse cenário específico.

WEEK 4
Entrando em um novo mercado
Este módulo aborda a entrada no mercado. Primeiro, analisaremos diferentes ferramentas para avaliar a atratividade de um mercado. Depois, falaremos sobre as estratégias que se mostraram úteis para entrar em um novo mercado, como estratégias de posicionamento e de marketing. Também consideraremos outra perspectiva e analisaremos o que empresas estabelecidas podem fazer para manter novos concorrentes fora do mercado.

WEEK 5
Por que se preocupar com pesquisa e desenvolvimento
No contexto de P&D, uma série de questões estratégicas importantes costuma vir à tona. Neste módulo, vamos analisar essas questões. Embora muitas inovações sejam criadas em um golpe de sorte, parece que a maioria das inovações é criada porque seus inventores se dedicaram a essa inovação específica e estratégia de diferenciação.

WEEK 6
Projetando produtos de modo inteligente
Neste módulo, nosso foco está nos aspectos estratégicos do projeto do produto e das estratégias de preços. Analisamos como as empresas podem ajustar seus produtos de modo a reduzir a pressão competitiva no mercado. Depois, analisamos algumas estratégias genéricas para projeto e precificação de produto, e discutimos problemas relacionados a ficar paralisado entre essas estratégias.

On Strategy : What Managers Can Learn from Philosophy - PART 1 (Coursera)

In the expression “creative thinking”, the keyword is not creativity; the keyword is thinking. With the help of great philosophers, you will rediscover the art of thinking. To help leaders to be rigorous even without figures, great philosophers have lots of ideas. Managers are invited to rediscover the art of thinking. They should understand the role of mental models, realize the importance of cognitive bias, agree on clear definitions and efficient criteria etc. Creativity demands the ability to unshackle ourselves from conventional ways of thinking, to "think outside the box".

Model Thinking (Coursera)

We live in a complex world with diverse people, firms, and governments whose behaviors aggregate to produce novel, unexpected phenomena. We see political uprisings, market crashes, and a never ending array of social trends. How do we make sense of it? Models. Evidence shows that people who think with models consistently outperform those who don't. And, moreover people who think with lots of models outperform people who use only one. Why do models make us better thinkers? Models help us to better organize information - to make sense of that fire hose or hairball of data (choose your metaphor) available on the Internet.

Platform Thinking: designing a Platform (Coursera)

Platforms changed the way we live and we do business. This module of the “Platform Thinking” series aims to help innovators in designing and building platforms. At first sight, it may seem that platforms "simply" connect different kinds of users, as Airbnb links travelers and hosts or as Uber links drivers and riders. Well, this is true: platforms link different kinds of users. Nevertheless, this is just the enabling factor to have a platform, definitely not enough to describe the wide range of activities they actually do.
