    New Strategy Teaching Tools Website

     

    Some of you may be familiar with Mason Carpenter's old teaching toolkit. I have initiated a new site that includes everything from that site plus quite a few additional exercises and videos. Please check it out at:

    www.CarpenterStrategyToolbox.com.

     

    You can filter by type of tool (exercise, video, etc.) using the tabs at the top or you can filter by topic in a strategy course (5 forces, RBV, etc.) using the categories on the right side. You should find something useful in no time at all.

     

    Please help make the site more useful:

    ·       Comment on tools you have used in class (adding tips, etc.)

    ·       Submit new tools so the resource is always growing

    ·       Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions

     

    Here are links to a few exercises and resources that you might find useful (to give you a feel):

    ·       Global Alliance Game (focus is on the search for complementarities and hazards in negotiating to take advantage of them).

    ·       Tinkertoy exercise (focus can be resources, first mover advantage, strategy under uncertainty, or strategy process - among other things).

    ·       Planning vs Luck Video depicts two lions waiting for their an antelope to present itself (is it luck or a good plan?).
