Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Top management is responsible for setting longer-term plans and directions for the organization as a whole, even though the time frames of planning may be shrinking. They are responsible for the overall strategy and vision of the organization. Lower and middle management are involved in implementing these plans and strategies, while shareholders are not responsible for setting plans and directions but rather have a financial stake in the organization. Consumers are also not responsible for setting plans and directions for the organization.
