Before the plan starts, the CEO wants to know whether it is feasible, how resources will be allocated among the departments, and what the key tasks will be. Which of the following steps in strategy implementation does this most directly describe?

The scenario describes strategy implementation: turning the chosen strategy into action by building supporting structure, allocating resources among departments and defining key tasks. It is not evaluation or environmental scanning, and structure alone is too narrow because resource allocation is also involved.
