b$.$ recognize that the achievement of strategic objectives signals that the company is well positioned to sustain or improve its performance.

c$.$ substitute financial intent for strategic intent and judiciously concentrate on the mission of making a profit.

d$.$ not allocate any resources to the achievement of strategic objectives until it is very clear that the company can meet or beat its stretch financial performance targets.

e$.$ avoid use of the balanced$-$scorecard philosophy since achievement of financial performance targets is obviously more important than the achievement of strategic performance targets
