Chapter 1 Strategic Management: Creating Competitive Advantages
1) Lands' End's failure under the leadership of Ms. Frederica Marchionni was said to be a
direct result of the quality of her leadership. According to the text, this would be an
example of the "romantic" perspective of leadership.
CORRECT ANSWER TRUE
Explanation: In the romantic view of leadership, the implicit assumption is that the leader
is the key force in determining an organization's success or lack thereof. Under Ms.

having reported a 73.8-million-dollar profit for the previous year under its previous CEO.

5) According to Henry Mintzberg, a management scholar, most firms do not realize their
original intended strategy.
CORRECT ANSWER TRUE
Explanation: Henry Mintzberg states that the intended strategy rarely survives in its
original form. Unforeseen environmental developments, unanticipated resource
constraints, or changes in managerial preferences may result in at least some parts of the
intended strategy remaining unrealized. On the other hand, good managers will want to
take advantage of a new opportunity presented by the environment, even if it was not part
of the original set of intentions.

6) The final realized strategy of a firm is a combination of deliberate and time-tested

CORRECT ANSWER FALSE
Explanation: Realized strategy is that strategy of a firm in which organizational decisions
are determined by both analysis and unforeseen environmental developments,
unanticipated resource constraints, and/or changes in managerial preferences.
