According to Foster's Model of Operational Balance, how should business strategy be developed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Foster's land management-based approach suggests that business strategy should not be dictated from the top down. Instead, it should involve both formal and informal groups throughout the organisation. This helps prevent artificial decision-making and misalignment between leaders and employees.

Wait, is it really effective to use informal groups? Sounds risky.

I thought it was important for strategies to be updated regularly, but I'm not confident if that means just once a year like in D.

I vaguely remember a practice question about operational balance, and I think it leaned towards using both formal and informal groups, which sounds like C again.

I feel like we discussed how senior leaders should be involved, but I can't recall if it was just them or if they needed input from others too.

I think I remember that Foster's Model emphasizes collaboration, so maybe it's C? But I'm not entirely sure.
