NATURE OF BUSINESS
POLICY
According to Christensen & others, Business Policy is
The study of the function & responsibility of senior
management, the crucial problems that affect success
in the total enterprise and the decision that determine
the directions of organisation and shape its future. The
problems of policy in business, like those of policy in
public affairs have to do with the choice of purposes,
the moulding of organisational identity and character,
the continuous definition of what needs to be done,
and the mobilization of resources for the attainment of
goals in the face of competition.
