Answer:

The estimated percentage change in the price of oil=10%

Explanation:

Elasticity of supply is a measure of how the supply of a particular commodity or product changes with price change.

Elasticity of supply can be expressed as;

Elasticity of supply=Percentage change in quantity supplied/percentage change in price

where;

Elasticity of supply=0.3

Percentage change in quantity supplied=3%

Percentage change in price=unknown=x

replacing;

Elasticity of supply=Percentage change in quantity supplied/percentage change in price

0.3=3%/x

x=3%/0.3

x=10%

The estimated percentage change in the price of oil=10%

Answer:

are never final, as managing strategy is an on-going, dynamic process.

Explanation:

In Business management, a strategy can be defined as a set of guiding principles, actions and decisions that an organization combines so as to achieve its business goals, attract customers and possess a competitive advantage over its rivals in the industry.

Business strategy sets the overall direction for the business because it focuses on defining how a business would achieve its goals, objectives, and mission; as well as the funds and material resources required to implement or execute the business plan. The components of a business strategy includes the following;

I. Value.

II. Vision.

III. Mission.

Hence, a company's direction, objectives, and strategy are never final because managing strategy is a continuum or an on-going, dynamic process. Thus, it's never a now and then task.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

D) declaring victory too soon

Explanation:

John Kotter in this theory of leadership explains the concept and importance of change. He basically believes that the company shall be currently functional.

By the term currently functional he means that the company shall be updated and working on with the current market trend. This means the company shall not be resistant to change and that the management shall take a note of it.

Further in the moving scenario there is no freezing point - the company shall constantly work on the new things which it can improve and excel.

Thus, final confirmation cannot be made soon as towards the change made.
