Goal the desired target
8. Explain the Planning Cycle in relation to Strategic Planning and

Tactical Planning answers the question How do we get there?

9. Explain Contingency Plan and its benefits.

Contingency Plan is an alternative plan that will be implemented should
certain events occur or alternative scenario for use in case of deviations
from expected trends
Benefits of Contingency Plan
It permits quick response to change
It prevents panic in crisis situations
It makes managers more adaptable by encouraging

10. How will you structure planning activities? Explain.

A number of factors affect the method used by an organization to structure its
planning activities. These include the following:
Size of the organization The larger the organization, the greater
the number of people and planning specialist available to plan.
Smaller organizations may be forced to rely on one-or a few
managers to perform any significant planning activities. Larger
organizations can afford to use planning specialists and maybe in
better position to free their managers from the time required to
engage in planning.
Degree of Decentralization Planning in a multiproduct,
decentralized organization is likely to be more diffused than in
centralized organization. Each division or production facility in a
decentralized operation is likely to play a significant role in
developing major plans. Although such plans may be coordinated
by a planning authority located at the headquarters office,
managers of decentralized organizations are likely to have more
 responsibility than their counterparts in highly centralized
operations.
Personality of Top Management Some top managers prefer to
work with a specialized planning staff. Others desire participation
from middle- and supervisory-level managers and require them to
assume the major responsibility for planning.
Nature of the Service/Product Multi product companies may
assign planning responsibilities to relatively low organizational
level. Decentralization would put planning in the hands of managers
who are closer to the chains clientele.

11. Explain Time Management

Time Management is the process of effectively allocating time among
different tasks, is the key factor in managerial effectiveness.

12. What are Guides of a Good Plan?

4. Fishbone Analysis (Ishikawa Diagram)

14. How to Change Organization according to Janssen?

Janssens Model of Change says that every organization has 4 windows
reflecting different stages of change, namely: COMFORT, DENIAL,
CONFUSION and RENEWAL. The COMFORT Window refers to areas
where the organization is in current comfort, or not experiencing any
pressure to change. The DENIAL Window refers to areas of concern
which have not been acknowledged at all. The CONFUSION Window
refers to areas of concern which have been acknowledged by all but which
lack clear directions. The RENEWAL Window refers to areas where the
organization has reached resolutions or made decisions and is moving
towards desired directions. Janssen points out that while the windows may
represent different change processes, the changes may also be cyclical,
moving from one window to another.
15. Explain Team Building Game called Human Web

surface insights on teamwork and the importance of having a nothing is
impossible mindset. The following were the insights:
