Great course for learning the fundamentals and theories of business strategy. The content is a bit old however. Generally that isn't an issue but can be a little challenging when the case studies and assignments are based on dated information. Still learnt lots though!

The course can increase the focus on how to use the tools to prepare the report rather than just explaining about the tools used. My personal opinion is that learning to use the tools is of greater significance than just knowing what a tool is used for.

It is a good course for starters to understand Business Strategy. I Really enjoyed the course, the material , presentations, the authors were all fantastic. Simple language with related examples. Good course to begin with. Thank you Coursera.

Great material, love the phasing and reminders, the professors are easy to understand and not boring. If we could have some sort of interaction with the professors and more interactions with classmates, the course would be even better.

The definition of 'strategy' really helped me think through if my own company has a 'strategy' in place. However, at some places, the faculty was using some 'calculus' which was off-putting. Overall, a very useful overview.

Gives good insights & tools for Strategic Analysis. However, bare in mind the need for assignments which are killer for working adults with a young family. Balancing and tossing these around can be a real challenge.

I think it was a great course for getting the basics of strategy. Provides a great introduction to all the various topics like Five forces, Generic strategies, Strategic positioning that has influenced strategy.

Foundations of Business Strategy has greatly expounded my knowledge on business strategy not only as an essential component of a business, but existing primarily as the core of any business.

I enjoyed the way the modules were structured . The course is precise and allows you to practice what is being taught by the faculty . Will surely recommend to all if you aspire to learn .

I found the information very illuminating. I only wish there was more focus on small firms, startups, and evaluating an industry as if the student were looking to enter the industry.

i loved this course but little more descriptions and meaning of business terms will be better if included as many of us are not from finance background rest the course is must taken

This is a good method of learning. the peers reviewing is good,it enables us to know more about the course and improves the knowledge. Thanks a lot for the coursera team.

It is a basic course, if you are already familiar with strategy and management principles avoid this one and jump on to the next one i.e. Advanced Business Strategy.

I enjoyed the course. I struggled with the Capability Analysis, though. The template could have used one or two examples to help understand the strategy tool.

It was a nice learning experience.I really enjoyed doing my assignment and see how the course is relevant in giving new insight before making any decision.

May be there is a technical glitch in answering the Questions of daily assignments while selecting options of the question type 'select all that apply '.

really good insight in structured approach to business (either you rule your worrld or your world rules you...). Looking forward to upcoming module

For me was a new kind of method to study on line and it was an amazing experience and very profitable.

Sure... we will continue with this challenge.

Course content is structured and rich. Peer review assignment might be the only downside because you have to wait for someone to review your work.

I had a great experience while pursuing this course. The best part was the assignment given, that made me understand the concepts in depth.

A very good in-depth course, detailed and with many tools on how to analyze and develop a business strategy. A bit too theoretical though.

A good beginners, foundational course. I do wish there was more peer support available so that learning groups could be better encouraged

Great introduction of business strategy ! A lot of theories (too much about perfect market in my opinion) and an excellent content.

The course is very well structured and give you access to useful tools and template to begin your road into Strategy development

Think it was a very good course, a bit high level though. It is "Foundations" though, so that is a somewhat unfair criticism.
