Answer:

The answer is B: At the midpoint of the project, members realize that their behavior pattern must change in order to complete the project on time.

Explanation:

Punctuated equilibrium is a concept in both biology and business where long periods of relative stability are often followed by growth spurts.

The punctuated-equilibrium model argues that groups usually move forward during bursts of change after going for long periods without change.

In the answer B, this concept is captured as group members of a project realise somewhere at the midpoint, that their behavior pattern must change in order to complete the project on time.

This shows that a period of relative stability was observed and then a short period of growth will be observed during the project lifecycle. This agrees with the development pattern known as punctuated equilibrium.

How important is structure/culture compared to the other primary internal considerations for a strategic plan?

ZanzabumX [31]

Explanation:

The organizational structure and culture are essential for the design of a strategic plan aligned with the organization's purpose.

What happens is that the structure and culture of an organization constitute its identity, its way of organizing itself and creating an environment designed to obtain the objectives and goals stipulated by strategic planning. So it can be said that there is no way to develop a strategic plan without considering the structure or culture, because it is through these two variables that action plans are developed and modeled according to what the company is, and what it plans to be in the future. All organizational systems must be foreseen in the planning and be developed with the same degree of importance, because together they form the organizational whole that will lead a company to be well positioned in the market, achieve continuous improvement in its processes, achieve competitive advantage in the market, etc.
