Position description
The Ron Joyce Centre for Business Studies/Commerce Department at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Allison University invites applications for a part-time stipendiary appointment in Sackville to teach a course entitled COMM4311A-Strategic Management. This capstone course builds on prior commerce courses and enables the students to understand the interdependencies between organizational functions and see the organization as a whole. Students will apply theoretical concepts and practical tools to analyze any organization as a dynamic system that interacts with its environment and responds to multiple stakeholders. Various materials such as case studies, role plays, simulations, and discussions of academic literature may be used so that students will learn how to formulate and implement strategies in different organizational and industry settings. The course is scheduled with 1 section on Tuesdays/Thursdays at 1:00 for 90 minutes in the Fall academic term 2026. The class size is approximately 75 students.
