SCENARIO 1 — MLO 4.1 — Reаd cаrefully befоre аnswering Questiоns 1 thrоugh 4. A regional healthcare system is facing two decisions simultaneously. Decision A: whether to replace its current electronic health records platform across all 12 facilities — a choice that will affect every clinical workflow, require years of transition, and cannot be easily reversed once contracts are signed. Decision B: whether to extend the cafeteria vendor contract for another year, using the same vendor evaluation criteria the system has applied for the past decade. The CEO has formed a cross-functional leadership team to deliberate on Decision A. She has delegated Decision B to the facilities manager. QUESTION 1 OF 4 (MLO 4.1): The CEO's different approaches to these two decisions reflect a key distinction in management theory. Which statement BEST explains why Decision A requires strategic-level treatment while Decision B does not?
