the adjustments.

VII. DEFINITIONS FOR THE BANDS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

• "BAND E" POLICY DECISION - These decisions are associated with board level
management and involve guiding the organization as a whole through policy
development, setting the overall direction, and tone of the organization. Restrictions to
these decisions are often only limited by the laws of the state (Paterson, 1972).

• "BAND D" PROGRAMMING DECISION - These decisions are typically made by senior
management or department directors and are generally tasked with executing the
organization's policy through strategy development. Establishing guidelines by which
further decisions are made. A typical senior management decision is made at the
organizational or department level. For instance, the decision on how to set up the
organization's network infrastructure is usually determined by management, while
the decision to upgrade is based on policy (Paterson, 1972).
