Answer 1

Answer:

Strategic plans are made by the upper echelon of a company's management. They are long term and done with the intent to achieve company wide missions and visions.

Tactical plans come next and are made by the middle-level managers. They are not as long term as strategic plans and are typically less than a year but more than half a year. They are done to meet the strategic plans.

Operational plans are not very long term and are typically under half a year. They aim to meet strategic plans and are done by low-level management. It is usually detailed as it aimed at a particular goal.

Strategic Plans

• Reducing production waste to landfill sites by 60 percent.
• Reducing the impact of our operations.
• Addressing child labor in the cocoa supply chain.

Tactical Plans

• Reducing our energy and GHG in manufacturing.
• Educating employees to reuse water and improve processes.
• Reducing packaging material.

Operational Plans

• Eliminating 50 million pounds of packaging material.
• Buying certified commodities.

Projects are specific and so have specific goals as they aim to achieve a particular mission. They have a defined start and finish.

Programs on the other hand are a group of projects which would produce individual results that when put together, contribute to the larger goal of the program.

Policies are the guidelines that a company institutes in order to meet their goals.
