As many of us prepare to move our strategy courses online, we need video “shorts” that introduce core strategy principles to go along with key readings. By now, you may have already seen collections by David Kryscynski, Shad Morris, and others in the toolbox. Melissa Schilling has graciously made a new set of videos available that address core strategy principles not found in the other collections. See also her related collection focused around innovation strategy (note that there is some overlap). Below is her video introducing agency problems as a sample.

In addition, she covers the following topics that may be useful for a strategy course:

• Ratios Made Easy
• Vertical Integration
• Value chains and VRIO Analysis
• Network Externalities
• Platform Ecosystems
• Leveraging Technology into New Markets
• Collaboration types
• Collaboration partners and governance
