Write an essay of 200 words answering the following questions. I WILL ATTACH THE PAGE THAT YOU HAVE TO READ IN ORDER TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

1-What adjustments would you make at this point? Would you cancel the program 

or run it at a loss?

2-Draw out a Gantt chart of the sequence and timing of key activities. What 

insights does this give you regarding the plan and its implementation?

3-What do you think went wrong? What do you see as the strengths and 

weaknesses of the planning process?

4-LDC seemed to follow a planning process that had worked well for its mid-level 

managerial programs. Are there differences between senior executives and mid-level managers that might explain why the plan did not work our as anticipated? Could these differences have been anticipated? Should they have been?
