The question does implicitly state a higher level (strategic) decision: to assist more efficient communication between staff in different states.
The provision of the online community is to facilitate this decision and could thus be viewed as a tactical decision.
As Mark at vceit said. These questions are often iffy. Not unexpected with a man-made classification.

While it affects the whole company, the coffee decision is not going to determine the organisation's entire future for some considerable time.
Toilet paper choices, on the other hand are much more serious.
With Hakeem's case, it does not sound like the online community is meant to implement a bigger goal, so I'd still stick to strategic. I do agree the decision is a bit iffy.
The annual strategic/tactical VCAA exam question always tends to be rather iffy too.

OK, he is the manager.
Let’s suppose he walks into the tea room for a cup of coffee and is appalled by the taste.
He makes the decision to have the company supply a better quality coffee for staff.
Is this a strategic decision?

My 2c... he's the manager. There can be no higher decision-making level.
His decisions must be strategic.

I tend to agree with your logic there Chris, that tactic is to help achieve the strategic.
I have a question below from another commercial vendor that is very similar, their suggested answer to this is Strategic, I assume because it’s a long term goal of the whole company, however isn’t the strategic decision more on the tendering side of things and the tactical to assist that goal. Am wondering what others think
Thanks

it says… “The decision is to upgrade its hardware”…. I thought tactical decisions were to carry out or make strategic decisions a reality i.e. to “expand into emerging markets”.
Anyways.. not a big deal.. good discussion/argument to have the students..
Thanks Everyone..

One could argue that the strategic decision having already been made to expand into emerging markets, a decision is now made that this will require upgrading hardware, ie a tactical decision.

IMHO overall attitude is strategic the hardware is a result of the strategic decision
So I would go strategic as best answer
