Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

It is suggested that both reactive and proactive strategies are necessary for the organization to be effective. A strategic plan that positions the firm for long-term expectations, but is modified by the firm's experience as it moves forward is preferable to a rigidly held long-term plan or reactions to short-term experience without a long-term plan.
