Answer 1

(Answer 1)

The strategic management process means the process where the strategies for the organization are framed, goals are set and strategies are implemented and monitored. It is very important to involve the employees so that they contribute towards the strategic management process. Following steps can be taken by the companies to make the employees contribute towards strategic management process:

• More employee participative leadership styles should be followed by the supervisors to ensures the full involvement of the employees.
• Giving the employees a platform to speak out their ideas related to the strategic management process.
• Setting the goals and targets for the employees, after discussing the same with the employees and taking their opinion on the same.
• Creating an open and transparent culture so that the employees feel informed about every step while formulation of strategic plans, and they give in their inputs on timely basis.

(Answer 2)

Many organizations fail to implement the plans successfully due to the following reasons:

• The organizations do not formulate realistic plans and the targets so set by them are not achievable from the very beginning.
• While formulating the plans, the organizations do not take the input of the employees and the workforce who are actually needed to implement those plans, thus fail in the end.
• No feedback from employees is taken from time to time at each stage, thus the chances of failure increases as no modifications are done due to lack of inputs from employees.
• Lack of proper leadership also leads to deviations from the set plans and deviations among the employees, hence chances of failure while implementation.
