Strategic Resource Management focuses on how organisations create value by effectively identifying, managing, and leveraging their internal resources. This course introduces learners to strategic thinking around tangible and intangible assets, helping them understand why some organisations outperform others using the resources they already possess.

The course begins with the resource-based theory, explaining how capabilities, knowledge, and assets contribute to sustainable competitive advantage. Learners explore how intellectual property, skills, and organisational knowledge can be protected and developed to strengthen long-term performance. Attention is given to how these resources support strategy rather than simply supporting operations.

Learners then examine the value chain, gaining insight into how activities across an organisation contribute to value creation. This section helps learners understand how efficiency, coordination, and strategic alignment influence overall performance. The course also introduces alternative performance measures, enabling learners to evaluate success beyond traditional financial indicators and consider broader strategic outcomes.

A key component of the course focuses on company assets and strategic evaluation through tools such as SWOT analysis. Learners develop the ability to assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in relation to organisational resources, supporting more informed decision-making. By linking analysis with strategy, the course builds confidence in applying resource management concepts to real organisational contexts.

By the end of the course, learners will have a clear understanding of how strategic resource decisions influence performance, competitiveness, and organisational direction. The knowledge gained is valuable across industries and organisational sizes, supporting both professional practice and further academic study.

Upon successful completion, learners will receive a free course completion certificate.
