4. Planning and strategic management derive from an organization's mission and vision about itself. 

Answer 1

1. FALSE
If you favor the transitory career path, you're the kind of person who doesn't want the responsibility that comes with promotion. You're a free spirit who likes the variety of experience that comes with continually shifting sideways from job to job or place to place (or you're afraid of making the commitment to doing any one thing).
2. FALSE
Planning is coping with uncertainty by formulating future courses of action to achieve specified results.
3. FALSE
Planning covers not only strategic planning (done by top managers) but also tactical planning (done by middle managers) and operational planning (done by first-line managers).
4. TRUE
Planning and strategic management derive from an organization's mission and vision about itself.
