Testimonials
Attending Strategic Analysis for Competitive Advantage was one of the best decisions of my career. The course helped me in understanding the strategic ways of looking at business problems and resolve it. The case studies, materials given were of the finest in standard with most facts driven, complimented with the best professors for the course who made the world of strategy easy to understand. Given a chance would love to enroll something new courses offered by IIM Bangalore. Thank you IIM b for making this truly a valuable and worth an experience of learning and must say the most beautiful campus :):)
