The recently introduced Local Enterprise Partnership’s (LEP’s) should be meticulous in identifying barriers that impede growth in local and regional economies and subsequently apply the necessary strategic planning policies to overcome socio-economic issues. Relative to this, the specific focus of the following briefing paper analyses the methodological steps required by the policy makers in the Greater Birmingham and Solihull LEP to assess current issues correctly in order to apply appropriate strategic policy action. In addition, the report clarifies the possible indicators that provide an outline of socio-economic conditions in the LEP, as a parallel, recommendation on reliable data sources will be provided. Important enquiries will be made in regards to monitoring and measurement of indicators for future planning strategy in the LEP. Currently the necessity to measure the outcomes resulting from data research within spatial policy is absent from the existing local Government Performance Framework (RTPI.org.uk). Significantly, the spatial planning system requires the development plan and core strategy be created on a robust credible evidence base. Methodology: Recommendations for the development indicators, research and analysis. Rationale The fundamental reasons of analysing indicators is to explore their patterns of spatial distribution and to investigate the degree to which there is measurable co-variation and interactive effect across different issues of the phenomenon studied (Wong 2006). Such analysis is generally guided by existing theories on the relationship between different factors or variables. There are however, major difficulties when connecting independent variables and the measurement of these variables in p... ... middle of paper ... ...d for each listing the size of the house (in square feet), the number of bedrooms, the average income in the respective neighborhood according to census data, and a subjective rating of appeal of the house. Once this information has been compiled for various houses it would be interesting to see whether and how these measures relate to the price for which a house is sold. For example, you might learn that the number of bedrooms is a better predictor of the price for which a house sells in a particular neighborhood than how "pretty" the house is (subjective rating). You may also detect "outliers," that is, houses that should really sell for more, given their location and characteristics. However, there are negatives in using the regression model for prediction, for example it makes the assumption that the current model remains valid for the predicted observations.
Contained within the following paper is the evaluation of the author’s organization’s mission, vision goals, and objectives .The author will discuss the pre-determined questions as set forth by Jeffrey Trapp, a certified University of Phoenix instructor. This paper will discuss the differences that a rise between a company that has implemented TQM (Total Quality Management) with that of the authors own organization’s management style.
The nexus between the Dragon Head Enterprises and the Torch Programs and determinates of developmental policy is quite complex. To quantify and test the amount of variables and their interactions would be beyond the scope of this analysis. As a case study method avoids the task of distilling complex phenomena into “standard regression formats necessary for a cross case econometric approach” it was chosen for the methodological approach of this work. In this context John Gerring’s delineation of a case study as: “an intensive study of a single unit for the purpose of understanding a larger class of (similar) units,” where a unit (case) is taken to be “a spatially bounded phenomenon . . . observed at a single point in time or over some delimited period of time” will serve as the methodological
When implementing the Pilot program into and urban school it is important for one to make sure they prepare precise steps. This way they will be able to lay down a well establish foundation and begin with starting strategic planning and establishing a purpose. When doing this you must address the stakeholder, and determine the roles and resources that will be require in order to help these student to succeed.

The Nimsoft project plan will be derived using discovery-driven planning and by discovering what has already been discovered. Discovery-driven planning offers firms an organized approach to planning for new ventures in emerging markets. Given the uncertainty of new disruptive technology markets, discovery-driven planning drives firms to make assumptions about the organization and the emerging markets, then revise these assumptions as the market develops. Unlike conventional approaches, which focus on projections and prematurely define specific targets, discovery-driven planning focuses on meeting assumptions at key milestones and continually planning and adapting while the emerging market evolves. Thus, firms are able incrementally invest in the project.
The study was carried out two separate ways. First was the comparison of information, finding on demographics, employment, start up initiatives, plans, etc. Second way was with on site research, mapping, interviews, and characteristics of Brixton Village. A couple of interesting trends emerg...
Alfred von Schlieffen, Chief of the Imperial German General Staff, created The Schlieffen Plan for war against France and Russia. It was designed to avoid a two front war. Seven eighths of german troops were sent to surround the strong french defenses by going through Belgium and the Netherlands while a third were ready at Germany and France’s border to attack. After the success of the attack on France, they planned to send the rest of the troops to Russia. Germany had no plan for dealing with Russia once the troops got there.
Discerning the context to the program that you want to explore, and allow people who will be involved with the program, to think about my own organization, and its needs and expectations for the program. It is very important to catch the attention of the organizations that you want to operate for a long time. Keeping people focus on what they are involved in is a major concern. Program planner have to work hard to carry out the context of the program to be able to keep the interest of people. Making that the facets of the program meaningful, learning, and being consistence. New directors may have to make changes after they have taken on a new position. Every culture has a unique way of learning preferences that relates to their organization.
I think Headquarters embodies person-centered planning. We are almost-always working with one person at a time, trying to identify the resources (including people) they have in their life that they can use to get through whatever the crisis they are having at the moment may be. There is no doubt that at our agency the person is at the center. We do not force the caller to do anything, unless we have determined they are in danger and active rescue is necessary. We work through a safety plan with the caller that outlines who they can talk to, what activities they are able to do while time passes, and so on. We never tell the caller what to do, but if we have an idea we frame it as a question, such as "You said you like reading. What would it be like to read until you can talk to your mom when she
Over the past decade there has been a booming interest in industrial agglomeration and specialisation by economists and policy-makers. The cluster theory has become a standard concept the world over, implanted in the minds of policy-makers and utilised through various adaptations from Porter’s (1998) original model as a tool for national, regional and local competitiveness, their innovation and growth. A cluster is the geographical concentration of various associated institutions in related industries that not only compete, but also co-operate in order to achieve efficiency and innovation (Porter, 1998). Clustering has become so prominent and popular due to its central focus on the elements that provide firms, industries and locations a form of competitiveness. This resonates closely with politicians and policy-makers due to the increasing importance of competitiveness in succeeding in a global economy.
Planning is an essential process in today’s organizations. Based on the three types of managers: top-level (strategic managers), middle-level (tactical managers), and frontline (operational managers), exist three corresponding levels of planning: strategic, tactical, and operational. The purpose of this essay is to focus on the strategic level of planning for the Ford Motor Company; a leader in the global automobile industry. Strategic planning, according to Bateman and Snell (2009), “involves making decisions about the organization’s long-term goals and strategies” (p. 137). This paper will elaborate on six key influential factors: economic, environmental, competition, foreign policy, domestic policy, and innovation; that shape this corporation’s strategic plan. Finally, a SWOTT analysis will be conducted covering the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and trends, that the Ford Motor Company has in relation to its business environment.
Automated planning is concerned with making a plan for solving a problem. When working with these kind of problems, the difficulty primarily lies in defining the problem in a precise yet relatively simple way.
In management, each of the four functions, planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, are crucial to the development of any business. Involving employees in the planning process help them understand the goals of the organization. Planning is analyzing a situation, determining the goals that will be pursued, and deciding in advance the actions needed to pursue the goals. This paper will evaluate the planning function of the Halliburton Company and analyze the impact that legal issues, ethics, and corporate social responsibilities have on management planning along with examples of each, and analyze three factors that influence strategic, tactical, operational, and contingency planning.
The main factor that affects demand in real estate industry is demographic features. The demographic variables include population size and growth, cultural background, beliefs and religion (Acton et al 1999). However, other factors like income, price of housing, cost and availability of funds, consumer preference, supplier’s preference, price of substitutes and compliments (Acton et al 1999).
Mainly advantages of location decide the structural growth of the industries in the economy. More number of states in the country faces the problem of advantage location. Similarly, the agriculture sector also suffers from natural calamities and other disturbances. The dependence on agriculture varies considerably across the states.
