Question 3 of 32

3. Question

Match the definitions with their terms.

Sort elements

are principles, rules, and guidelines formulated or adopted by an organisation to reach its long-term goals.
A plan differs from a set of procedures in that it is generally more specific as to who will do each task, and when it is to be done. Unlike a set of procedures, a plan may "name names" by identifying the people responsible for each item, and it should ordinarily include target dates and documentation of progress made. Many agencies have developed strategic plans, which often identify key objectives to be met over a specific time period, such as a year.
are the specific methods employed to express policies in action in day-to-day operations of the organisation
are the step-by-step way things are ordinarily done in a place of business. They may include formal procedures, but often they are the result of organisational culture and habits that have accumulated over time.
