問 12
Incorrectア
Presenting the concrete 'action plan' for realizing the management strategy is the role of tactics, an action plan, or an execution plan, not the significance of the philosophy itself. A philosophy speaks to the 'why,' while an action plan speaks to 'how to act' — they are concepts at different levels.
Incorrectイ
Clarifying the scenario (the path) for realizing the business goals is the role of the management strategy. A philosophy is not the procedure for achieving goals; it shows the company's fundamental values and reason for existence, so it is inappropriate.
- ウ
正解 A management philosophy is a written statement of a company's reason for existence (why it exists) and the values and beliefs that underlie its business activities; it sits at the very top of management as an unchanging idea. Therefore, the significance of formulating it lies in being able to clearly show, both inside and outside the company, the company's reason for existence and its values. Thus ウ is the most appropriate.
Incorrectエ
Presenting the 'future image the company wants to reach' is the role of the vision (management vision). A vision is the future picture drawn on the basis of the philosophy; it is a concept distinct from the philosophy, which shows the reason for existence and its values.
- Management philosophy = a written statement of the company's reason for existence (why it exists) and its underlying values; it sits at the top level of management.
- Philosophy, vision, strategy, and action plan belong to different levels: philosophy (why it exists) → vision (the future image) → strategy (the path to achievement) → action plan (concrete actions).
