Policy
नीति
In Class 12 Business Studies, this topic explains policy as a key type of standing plan within the chapter Planning. Students learn how policies provide broad guidelines for managerial thinking and decision-making while leaving room for judgment in different situations. The topic also helps distinguish policies from more specific plans such as procedures and rules, and shows how clear policies promote consistency, coordination and effective implementation of organisational objectives.

Which option correctly considers stakeholder impact in policy design?
Correct answer: A
The direct answer is A: considering small vendors’ cash-flow needs while making a supplier-payment policy. A policy is a general guideline for repeated decisions. Stakeholders are people or groups affected by an organisation’s decision, such as suppliers, workers, customers and owners. If a company delays payment, small suppliers may not have enough cash to buy materials or pay workers. Considering this effect makes the policy more responsible and practical. A is correct because it directly connects a policy decision with its effect on an affected stakeholder. B, choosing a pen colour, is a minor design choice and does not show stakeholder impact in policy design. C, polishing a chair, is routine maintenance, not policy planning. D, printing one receipt, is a single operational act, not a policy. Memory cue: policy plus affected people equals stakeholder impact.
