Mission and strategy. It important to determine who will be responsible for the mission and strategy or who will play the most important role in influencing it, e.g. all the heads of departments, or only the vice-presidents of the company. After the mission and strategy have been accepted, the next step is their physical execution. The strategy might involve establishing new businesses, selling-off present ones or amalgamating two businesses. All these decisions can influence - either negatively or positively - the employees and their jobs. These decisions entail the allocation of resources and budgets and can even have an effect on the quality of relationships between employees.
