Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Top management is responsible for setting longer-term plans and directions for the organization, regardless of shrinking time frames of planning. Lower and middle management are responsible for implementing those plans and strategies. Shareholders and consumers can have some influence on the direction of the organization, but they are not primarily responsible for setting longer-term plans.
