The purpose of planning is to achieve a goal. All three levels of plan

QUESTION

The purpose of planning is to achieve a goal. All three levels of plans (strategic, tactical, and operational) foster long-term goals. When organizations with conflicting goals merge, what planning documents need to be revised?

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER

Answer: With two organizations creating one new superorganization, it is a good assumption that new vision and mission statements might need to be drafted. It is also logical to anticipate that strategic plans might shift in the next one to five years. Tactical plans are especially likely to be affected. Operational plans might be the least affected in a meaningful way in that frontline operations are often similar across organizations.
Explanation: All levels of management are responsible for a type of plan. Whether it’s a strategic, tactical, or operational plan, or even specific objectives for units and employees, all layers of the organization will need to reevaluate their planning documents. The most likely to be affected are the vision, mission, and tactical documents.
