How did everyone go

Hey guys with the Zac case regarding the management style, was it appropriate that I chose a participative management style although the case study said he needed to act 'swiftly'? I thought about it now and an autocratic or consultative would have been better as he can then make quicker decisions. However, would I be safe if I justified the participative style? I talked about providing them ownership and sense of responsibility which can address the issues they were facing. (were the issues regarding quality and......? I forgot)

what's the answer to the link between the mission statement and planning?

what practices did you guys write for the last question in response to:
1. improving quality to lessen inferior products
2. new focus on materials management to reduce waste
3. establishment phase for future staffing needs

Hey

For the link between mission statement and planning, I first defined the mission statement as being the outline of the organisations reason for existence and what not and planning being the formalised process to produce a result in the form of integrated systems of decisions... Thus there is a direct correlation between planning and the mission statement as planning is basically the way the organisation goes about justifying and achieving it.

Lmao.. probably just a load of shit but meh

i think the autocratic management style would be most appropriate in that the manager had to act 'swiftly', therefore best because the decision is made by one person
constultative would be too time consuming as the manager would have to consult with employees
