Building High-Performance Teams for a Sustainable Competitive Advantage
Welcome to one of the best courses for 2021. “Building high-performance teams for a sustainable competitive advantage” is a thorough new course in the key area of business education. The competitive advantage of this course is that it provides students with both a ground theoretical knowledge in fundamental concepts of firms’ management, as well as the practical tools to become successful team leaders/managers/members and contribute to the achievement of a sustainable competitive advantage. Built on a solid foundation of the most up-to-date research and theory, the modules are packed with discussion questions and a number of articles and videos focusing on critical topics. This course is for:
- Directors seeking ways to achieve a competitive advantage and differentiate their business’s products and/or services in dynamic markets.
- Managers/executives/members who want to enhance their performance through developing soft skills.
- Managers/executives who want to enhance the overall organizational performance through creating and leading effective teams.
- Individuals/students who wish to expand their knowledge and acquire the right tools before entering the business world.
Taking into consideration that gaining knowledge should not be a stressful process, the course is designed in a way that gives students the opportunity to learn at their own pace by approaching one 30-minute module at a time.

Let me give you a hint before you start your quiz. There are 20 questions derived from the 7 sections of this course. In each question a specific image is assigned. As there are specific related images in each section of the slideshow, the chosen image in each question corresponds to the chapter where you can find your answer. The presentation of slideshow/workbook will help you pass the test with distinction.
Good Luck!
