Strategy, tactics, and objectives: competitive strategy, mission, threats, weaknesses, opportunity, strengths, unit objectives, unit strategic tactics, employee objectives, implementation, evaluation, and feedback. Environmental stability factors: high stability, high complexity = moderate uncertainty, low stability, low complexity = low uncertainty, high stability, low complexity = low uncertainty, low stability, high complexity = moderate uncertainty. Becoming more flexible, decentralized decision making, empowered employees.
