Answer to Question 1

Strategic decisions encompass a long-term perspective of two to five years and affect the entire organization. Top executives are responsible for making strategic decisions. Tactical decisions have a short-term perspective of one year or less and focus on subunits of the organization (such as departments or project teams). Middle managers are most likely to make tactical decisions. Operational decisions cover the shortest time perspective, generally less than a year. They are often made on a daily or weekly basis and focus on the routine activities of the firm. These decisions are made by supervisors, teams, and front-line employees.

Answer to Question 2
