Problem - Imagine you are an executive for a Fortune 500 company and you are preparing a presentation for the board of directors about the organization's direction.

Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, with speaker notes on each slide, in which you address the following:

• Analyze factors that influence each of the following: the company's strategic planning, tactical planning, operational planning, and contingency planning.
• Analyze the influence that legal issues, ethics, and corporate social responsibility have had on management planning. Provide at least one example for each.
• Evaluate the planning function of management as it relates to the organization's goals and strategies.
• Use steps in the specific formal planning process outlined in Management.

Discuss how CEOs use concentration, vertical integration, or diversification in the planning function of management.
