Hello,

1. The “W4 SMART Case Study: Cyber Security Competitive Analysis Report” was especially difficult for me since it called for a thorough comprehension of Saudi Arabia’s cyber security industry, taking into account its social, legal, and commercial landscape. The challenge resulted from the lack of acquaintance with the particular market dynamics and contextual elements. I was forced to undertake a lot of research for this task, which may have improved my analytical abilities and my understanding of a specialized industry in a particular worldwide environment.

2. My understanding of globalization and strategic decision-making has changed dramatically as a result of this course. It has improved my comprehension of the challenges associated with developing and putting into practice global plans. The focus on economic, legal, and cultural aspects brought attention to the necessity of a thorough method for making strategic decisions in a globalized society. The difficulties presented by various international contexts have highlighted how crucial flexibility and contextual knowledge are to the development of successful global strategies. Overall, the course has strengthened the idea that a sophisticated grasp of global dynamics is necessary for making effective strategic decisions.

3. Although I am not sure which course I’ll be taking next, the fundamental ideas and strategies learned in this strategic management course will probably offer a useful framework for comprehending more complex subjects. Capabilities that are transferable to different strategic management contexts include the assessment of global plans, recognition of hazards in global operations, and comprehension of competitive landscapes. The knowledge of technology acquired in global strategic management will also probably be helpful in future courses when figuring out how to navigate and comprehend the technological environment. My view on international business operations has been broadened by the course, laying a solid groundwork for future study in more specific fields.
