1. TWO TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONAL DECISIONS
1. Strategic decisions: This is that organizational type of decisions where the focus is on the
planning of the entire business model. It deals with the foundation of establishing the key
areas and potential growth areas to compete with the growing competition levels and
entry of innovative and new products of same nature. Further to this, it can be added that
these decisions help the company to set goals and understand the requirements to flourish
the growth.
2. Tactical decisions: It is that organizational decision that assists in making the
responsibilities workable to match the company’s mission. This lays the platform where
the day to day activities are specified and are synchronised to overcome the competition
and sustain the markets without wastage of resources (Jones, 2013). It is dependent on the
strategic decisions and can be changes to fulfil the business planning with effectiveness.
2. TWO PRINCIPAL TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING
STRATEGIES PROPOSED BY JAMES MARCH
Organizational learning is an important concept to smoothen the working practices and
under the ethical framework for execution works. This aims at the strategic planning to use the
expertise, experience and implementation of technology for gaining profitability as well as
productivity.
Exploration in Organizational Learning: This implies on the cooperation and coordination
among the members of an organization for overall development and learning. Here an
organizational code is implemented to know the differences between the theoretical and practical
knowledge. It consists of establishing the code of conduct practices and making shifts to execute
the orders or bringing necessary changes for better workplace environment.
Exploitation in Organizational Learning: This is that organizational learning that makes the
companies to win over the prevailing competition for superiority. It only develops upon the
hierarchical chain that gets established on the basis of designation, experience, qualification and
creating a division among the employees of any company (Jones, 2013). Here rearrangement of
adaptive processes must be promoted to make the work-life balance in effective manner. This
would curb any self-destruction for longer duration while serving at the workplace.
