IO I O IO IO IO IO

1) Lands' End's failure under the leadership of Ms. Frederica Marchionni was said to be a
IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO

of the "romantic" perspective of leadership.
IO IO IO IO IO IO

Marchionni's leadership, the company reported a 19.5-million-dollar loss for 2016 after

reengineering, and outsourcing are important but not enough for building sustainable

competitiveadvantage.
IO IO

Answer: TRUE I O

Explanation: Sustainable competitive advantage cannot be achieved through operational
IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO

effectiveness alone. Popular management innovations of the last two decades like total

quality, just-in-time, benchmarking, business process reengineering, and outsourcing are

strategic management. IO

Answer: TRUE I O

Explanation: The fourth attribute of strategic management is that it involves the recognition

oftrade-offs between effectiveness and efficiency. Some authors have referred to this as the
IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO

difference between doing the right thing (effectiveness) and doing things right (efficiency).

5) According to Henry Mintzberg, a management scholar, most firms do not realize their
IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO

originalintended strategy.
IO IO IO

Answer: TRUE I O

Explanation: Henry Mintzberg states that the intended strategy rarely survives in its original
IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO

form. Unforeseen environmental developments, unanticipated resource constraints, or changes
IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO

inmanagerial preferences may result in at least some parts of the intended strategy remaining
IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO

unrealized. On the other hand, good managers will want to take advantage of a new
IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO

opportunity presented by the environment, even if it was not part of the original set of
IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO

intentions.

Answer: FALSE I O

Explanation: Realized strategy is that strategy of a firm in which organizational decisions are
IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO IO
