Imagine you are the new Head of Learning and Development.
Which department should be involved in this following case?
The senior managers of a large financial institution recognize the importance
of training and development for their staff. They have a clear policy that not

legislative requirements that apply to their area of business, but that staff
should also be encouraged and enabled to engage in other appropriate
development activities. The middle managers, who largely look after staff
performance and development, all welcome this policy. They have made it
clear to all of their staff that development opportunities are available and can
be applied for at any time. Many individual managers have therefore put

A stability strategy is a corporate strategy that focuses on maintaining the current business operations and staying consistent with existing products, markets, and business processes (Parnell, 2017). This strategy aims to avoid major changes and risks, and instead, focuses on optimizing efficiency and profitability within the current business model (Wang et al., 2020). There are many reasons why an organization may choose to adopt a stability strategy, as this strategy is usually adopted when a company operates in a stable industry with limited growth opportunities and has achieved a dominant market position (Parnell, 2017). Oftentimes, stability strategies are employed during times of uncertainty or economic downturn, making core business and resource conservation a priority (Wang et al., 2020). Although stability strategies appear to be less dynamic and aggressive in comparison to growth or innovation-focused strategies, stability strategies can,…arrow_forward

Military analyst Daniel Ellsberg leaked the “Pentagon Papers,” which contained sensitive information regarding the United States’ progress in the Vietnam War. President Nixon himself tasked Krogh with stopping leaks of top-secret information. And Nixon’s Assistant for Domestic Affairs, John Ehrlichman, instructed Krogh to investigate and discredit Ellsberg, telling Krogh that the leak was damaging to national security. Krogh and another staffer assembled a covert team that became known as the “plumbers” (to stop leaks), which was broadly supervised by Ehrlichman.
