In what situations is top-down planning likely to be superior to bottom-up emergent strategy development

Marianna [84]

Answer is given below :

Explanation:

Both strategies aim to convey and process knowledge between and within the organization. The top-down approach for sub-categories to gain insights at the senior management level breaks down a system.
This is a great tool to help managers identify areas of improvement using quota and monthly matrix goals. There are flaws in this strategy, employees are not involved in the process and managers do not understand the full impact of the changes made.
Morality can be affected because this strategy is motivated by fear and encouragement. The bottom line is that in some cases it is more complex, although employees feel motivated to provide more authority and quality work. The information is processed to a minimum and communicated to management.
This may help in some areas because administrators may not fully understand the process. I should use the military as an example for a top down strategy.
It works on the battlefield when there is no time to discuss or motivate employees. Top down is used when there is a slight change in environmental factors.

topjm [15]

Answer:

$120 billion

Explanation:

Economy operating at $300 billion above its natural level of output.

Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 3/5 = 0.6

For closing this expansionary gap, the government have to decrease its spending by the amount calculated as follows:

Spending multiplier:

= 1/ (1 - MPC)

= 1/ (1 - 0.6)

Hence, the government spending reduces by

= Expansionary gap ÷ Spending multiplier

= $300 ÷ 2.5

= $120 billion

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Current liability refers to the short term obligations of the firm which need to be settled down within a period of one year or within a normal operating cycle.

(a) $0 would be reported as current liability, as it is not a current liability. It is a contingent liability.

(b) The amount of current liability is $192,900 because it is a liability of a firm to pay bonuses to the employees.

(c) The amount of current liability is as follows:

= $900,000 × 0.08 × (1/12)

= $6,000

Payment of interest on loan is a liability of the firm.

(e) Proposed dividend is a part of current liability and the amount of dividend to be shown as current liability is as follows:

= Dividend per share × No. of shares outstanding

= $3.50 per share × 41,810

= $146,335

(f) Customer advances is a current liability and the amount of customer advances to be reported in current liability is calculated as follows:

= Customer advances - Amount earned this year

= $193,100 - $57,900

= $135,200
