Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aligning the organization with the environment to achieve goals is the most effective strategy as it involves assessing both the internal strengths/weaknesses and external factors to create a comprehensive plan that addresses both. Long-range planning (A) is important but may not consider changes in the environment, while providing a list of environmental factors (C) may not provide sufficient information for managers to develop a strategy. Focusing solely on competition (E) may miss other important factors in the environment that could impact the organization's success.
