Strategic Management Bible...
explains all... In the beginning was the plan.
And then came the assumptions,
And the assumptions were without form.
And the plan was completely without substance
And the darkness was upon the face of the workers
And they spoke among themselves saying:
It is a crock of s... and it stinketh .
And the workers went unto the supervisors
And sayeth;
It s a pile of dung and none may abide
The odour thereof .
And the supervisors went unto their managers and sayeth unto them:
It s a container of excrement and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it.
And the managers went unto their directors
And sayeth:
It s a vessel of fertiliser and
None may abide its strength.
And the directors spoke amongst themselves,
Saying one to another:
It contains that which aids plant growth,
And it is very strong.
And the directors went unto CEO
And sayeth unto him:
It promotes growth and is very powerful.
And the CEO went unto the chairman
And sayeth unto him:
This new plan will actively promote growth and efficiency of this organization, and in these areas in particular.
And the chairman looked upon the plan, and saw that it was good, and the plan became policy.
This is how **** happens.
