Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The final step in the strategic management process is to evaluate the results of the strategies implemented. Since Kerry is still preparing for the management meeting, it can be assumed that Delta has not yet reached the implementation stage. Therefore, options A and D can be eliminated. Option B, conduct external analysis, is part of the initial steps in the strategic management process and does not refer to the final stage of evaluating results. Therefore, the correct answer is C, evaluate results.
