Yes. The present course of the plan can only result to financial failure. The financial is due to change in the environment that is dynamic. The people have started to avoid the forests to eliminate the danger of their goods being confiscated by the bandsmen. Therefore, the organization needs new innovative method of running their operations. They should adopt new plans and missions. Continuing with the current course of action is not an option as it has become obsolete. Robin Hood should consider reshuffling his management team due to increased cases of indiscipline and improve the faith of the people in the group. Thus, it’s imperative to enact a new plan to improve the effectiveness of the group.

Expansion of the band’s operations to the other parts of the forest is a viable option and should be embraced. Expansion of the band’s operations will lead to the increased source of revenue that is needed to learn the organization. Additionally, the increased coverage in the geographical area can solve problems such as shelter, food shortage, security and vigilance. Although it being a viable option, Robin Hood will require more financial resources and manpower to manage the organization due to its expansion (Chaikin et al. 2009).
6)
Imposition of fixed transit tax to tackle the problem of decreased revenue is a viable option. Imposition of fixed tax will lead to the creation of steady cash flows to enable them learn their operations smoothly. However, imposition of fixed tax will alienate the organization with the people who provide them with the basic commodities such as food (Chaikin et al. 1996). Despite the above, a fixed tax is vital for the long-term operation of the business. In addition, the tax will provide safe passage for the people in exchange.

Pros: Robin Hood will have a full amnesty that will pardon him from prosecution in future and elimination of the bond between Prince John and the Sheriff that is a major contributor to the reinforcement of the Sheriff.
Cons: It will make Prince John who is popular for his restlessness and vindictiveness pursue him and maybe possibly destroy the organization due to his network of many spies in different areas.
Good Plan: Agree to assist in the release of King Richard. Apart from being granted amnesty as a result of the release, he will have the opportunity to continue his missions since he won’t be prosecuted. Additionally, he will be able to end the regime of the Sheriff.

In my opinion, killing the Sheriff will portray a negative image to the bands and Robin Hood. The people will lose the faith in the organization. Furthermore, the strong network of the Sheriff especially with politicians could stir endless chaos with Robin and Merry men in the event of Sheriff dying leading to deaths or future hardships.
