Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D, F
Strategic management involves conducting an environmental scan, knowing the competition, es-tablishing goals, setting targets, developing an action plan, implementing the plan, and evaluating success. This approach has long been used in business to ensure a competitive advantage over similar enterprises. The core purpose is the reason the organization is in business.

Answer to Question 2

D
The organizational chart reflects the formal structure of the organization and can reflect predo-minant beliefs, values, and relationships in the organization. Exclusion at senior executive levels of nurse leaders may reflect institutional beliefs about how resources are allocated, the degree of autonomy given to staff, and involvement of key groups in decision making.
