Question:Logical incrementalism is seen as the middle way of strategic management. Which three of the following describe its main characteristics?
  A. Strategy is best described as a learning process.
  B. Managers take decisions after systematically considering all relevant data.
  C. Managers follow rather than pre-empt changes in the environment.
  D. Managers deliberately keep their decisions small scale.
  E. Managers have some notion as to where the organisation should be.
  The correct answers are: Managers have some notion as to where the organisation should be; Managers deliberately keep their decisions small scale; Strategy is best described as a learning process.
  Strategies where managers follow rather than pre-empt changes in the environment are of a simple incremental rather than logical incremental type; where managers make decisions after systematically considering all relevant data they are following a rational model.
