For example, answers should note that traditional strategic planning is hierarchical, with top-level strategies flowing down through the levels of the organization into more specific goals and plans and an ever-more-limited timetable. But in today's complex organizations, the planning sequence is often not as rigid as this traditional view. Managers throughout an organization may be involved in developing the strategic plan and contributing critical elements to it. Lower-level may be making decisions that shape strategy.
