Discuss Strategic Decision Making and difference between Administrative and

Operational Decisions.
ANS:-
Strategic Decision Making:- Strategic decision-making is the process of charting a course
based on long-term goals and a longer term vision. By clarifying your company's big picture
aims, you'll have the opportunity to align your shorter term plans with this deeper, broader
mission – giving your operations clarity and consistency.
Strategic decision making aligns short-term objectives with long-term goals, and a mission that
defines your company's big picture purpose. Shorter term goals are expressed in quantifiable
milestones that give you the capacity to measure your success and your adherence to your
vision.

Administrative Decisions
Administrative decisions usually serves as a bridge between the strategic and operational sides.
If operational thinking is concerned with how to get things done, administrative thinking fleshes
out top-level strategic plans and breaks them down to actionable chunks for the operational
decision makers.

• Administrative decisions are taken daily

• These are short-term based Decisions
• These are taken according to strategic and operational Decisions
• These are related to the working of employees in an organization.
• These are in the welfare of employees working in an organization

Operational Decisions
Operational decisions get down to specifics of how to get things done. Because of this,
operational decisions lean more toward the short term. Without operational thinking, strategy
becomes little more than a dream with little to make it happen. On the other hand, operational
decisions made without strategic planning become more random and lack a central theme to
determine an organization's direction.
• Operational decisions are not frequently taken
• These are medium-period based decisions.
• These are taken in accordance with a strategic and administrative decision
• These are related to production
• These are related to production and factory growth
