Nirmal Textiles Ltd has decided to enter the technical textiles segment. The board approved the strategy, but middle managers cannot tell how budgets, staffing and reporting lines must change. Which implementation task is most directly missing?

The missing task is aligning organisational structure, resources and systems with the chosen strategy. Formulation is complete because the board has chosen the strategy; implementation requires allocating budgets, defining staffing and reporting lines so managers can execute it.

  2. BConducting a fresh SWOT analysis of the industry
  3. CRedefining the company's vision statement
  4. DChoosing between cost leadership and differentiation

Explanation

The problem is about translating a chosen strategy into action: structure, resource allocation and systems. Vision, SWOT and generic strategy choice belong to formulation, which is already done here, so they are not the gap.
