The commitment concept states that plans should ________
A) always stake out a longer time period than is estimated
B) always stake out a shorter time period than is estimated
C) stake out a time period that is neither too long nor too short
D) not include time periods because they are too confining
Answer: C
Explanation: The commitment concept states that plans should extend to meet any commitments that they directly or indirectly specify. For example, a plan to finance only the construction of a bridge, but not its upkeep and maintenance, fails to meet its basic time commitment. The preceding ideas identify staking out a time period that is neither too long nor too short as the correct response. Staking out too long, too short, or no time periods all fail to meet time commitments and are therefore incorrect responses.
