• Organizational Survival Strategies. This
  discussion has two options. Please choose either
  Option A or Option B to respond to. Be sure to
  indicate within your post which option you chose.

  cannot be avoided when the action that is being
  considered is controversial. For example, a
  hospital may seek to expand its market reach by

  small suburban township. The county where the
  township sits has seen a steady rise in heroin
  addiction, as well as an increase in hepatitis
  cases. As a manager, identify the three possible
  categories of clients within this new clientele
