Strategic Plan
With any shift in strategy, there are barriers that need to be overcome. There are a number of potential sources of change resistance and business literature has studied these for a long time. These can be poor communication of the strategy, self-interest, feelings of exclusion, lack of trust in leadership, and a lack of skills or training to implement the changes (Brookins, 2013). Within the organization, it is the workers and managers who must interpret and implement any change strategy. When these stakeholders do not understand the change, they may become resistant to it. Thus, the strategic change needs to be communicated with utmost clarity. Self-interest also becomes a source of resistance, where perhaps some people within the organization feel that the change will harm them, so they resist the change to protect their own interests. Such resistance can be much more difficult to overcome, because the root cause…...

Strategic Plan for AOL
What is the meaning of progress? In general it means that the group of individuals or organization is being able to keep pace with the changes that keep coming in with time. AOL was a very large and important unit in the Internet services before the broadband access concepts came in. Today, their technology is backdated and they are trying to come in with new technology. At the same time, in a race it is very difficult to make up once you have fallen back. That is the problem, and it is unlikely that they will ever become a leader of Internet any more. Just as they had absorbed a number of other organizations earlier -- Netscape, Compuserve, ICQ, Digital City and Moviefone -- they will also be absorbed by another organization as they still have a relatively large number of subscribers.

To advance the implementation of this strategy, two different management principals must be embraced to include: the process orientated and people centered approaches. The process orientated approach is when you are examining an organization's procedures for: delivering the final product and services to customers. The people centered approach is when you looking at: how the attitudes, ideas and behavior of the staff will have an impact upon the company. These two elements are important, because they will help to improve the strategy by: addressing how the current policies and the action of the staff have created compliance issues.

This situation determined important problems, like supply shortages, leading to the restaurant's inability of satisfying some of its customers' requirements. Therefore, it is recommended to expand the supplier base.
Location capacity -- the restaurants do not have the capacity of serving a high number of customers. There are situations where numerous customers must wait until they can be seated to their tables. Some of these customers find such situations unacceptable. Therefore, they prefer to go to other restaurants with a greater serving capacity. This leads to increased efforts from the company in improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Opportunities
Expanding the number of restaurants -- this is a good idea in order to increase profits. However, this strategy requires significant investments. The company must analyze the market and determine whether this investment can be supported. It is important to determine the size of the market, the possibilities of customers, and the financial resources…...
