Underlying focus points of the 3 zones in the management-concerns diagram

The underlying focus points of the 3 zones in the management-concerns diagram (re: the ALRA) are shown in the following diagram:

1. When discussing management concerns, make sure that they are clearly related to the underlying management-concern focus. For example, fast aging population is not itself a business opportunity [i.e. not clearly a management-concern item], but fast growing market demand for consumer products for old people is a business opportunity to your company if your company is a producer of consumer products for old people [i.e. clearly a management-concern item].

2. Similarly, under zone 2, one can study "leadership" style as long as it helps you, the researcher to gain a better understanding of the organizational capabilities status (zone 2 topic) of the company. That also means that the evaluation of the company's "leadership style" needs to be evaluated with the core competence perspective.
