Jenna is the information technology director at a large country club. She's taking the other three members of her department on a retreat to develop department strategies and initiatives. What type of strategic planning is Jenna and her department engaging in?

a. club strategic planning
b. operations strategic planning
c. long-range strategic planning
d. functional strategic planning

Answer 1

Answer: Functional strategic planning

Step-by-step explanation: Functional strategic planning refers to planning for a specific functional area of the organisation. This type of planning affects only one department or the area for which is made and other departments do not get affected from it very much. This is done by the departmental heads of the organisation.

In the given case, Jenna is the director of IT department and is planning to retreat her departments strategies. Her actions would only affect the IT department.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D.
