Agency Strategic Planning Guidebook, August 2013

In creating a strategic plan, an organization analyzes current and historical trends and other factors to try and anticipate the future. The state of Iowa’s strategic planning process asks agencies to look three to five years into the future to lay out essential goals, strategies, and measures to ensure that it remains focused on achieving its vision and mission. Agency plans should address strategic challenges or opportunities related to their mission, programs and services. To the extent possible, agencies should align their plans with the enterprise plan, considering how they can contribute to achieving the Governor’s Goals. Agencies are required to review their plan on an annual basis, and, if appropriate, refine the plan.

Good practice for dialogue and communication as strategic principle for policing political manifestations in Europe (GODIAC):field study handbook

This handbook describes the peer review methodology that was applied at the GODIAC project fi eld studies1. The peer review evaluation method as initiated by Otto Adang in the Netherlands and further developed in a European football context (Adang & Brown, 2008) involves experienced police offi cers cooperating with researchers to perform observational fi eld studies to identify good practices and learning points for public order management. The handbook builds on the GODIAC seminars and workshops, for the fi eld study members, which took place in September 2010, January 2012 and January 2013. The handbook has been discussed in the project group and in the steering committee. It is primarily written for the GODIAC fi eld study members as background material for understanding the fi eld study process and for clarifying the different responsibilities that enable active participation in the fi eld study. The handbook has been developed during the project period and incorporates learning points and developments of the peer review method. The handbook aims at promoting the use of fi eld studies for evaluation of policing major events.

Good practice for dialogue and communication as strategic principle for policing political manifestations in Europe (GODIAC):the anthology

The volume is divided into two parts; the fi rst deals with issues related to the police, and the second addresses issues related to demonstrators and protesters. We hope that this volume will provide further insight into issues associated with policing at major events and shed light on the complexity of the organisations, motives, and strategies in play whenever protester groups are involved.

Strategic alliances. How to make them succeed

Mitjançant aquest treball hem analitzat com en aquest temps en què la internacionalització és un fet necessari i les empreses volen globalitzar, aquestes decideixen unir-se per tal d'aconseguir. Aquí analitzem els diferents tipus d'unió possible centrant-nos més específicament en les aliances estratègiques però veient també les adquisicions. Primer analitzem quan és més convenient aliar-se amb una empresa o adquirir-la. Això ho portarem a terme mitjançant el desenvolupament d'una sèrie d'elements a tenir en compte. Un cop vist això, analitzem els principals motius pels quals les empreses decideixen aliar-se, entre els quals destaquen l'obtenció de coneixement i recursos. A més analitzem les diferents variants d'aliança estratègica com són les llicències, franquícies, contractes de recerca i desenvolupament, Joint Ventures, etc. i quan és més convenient desenvolupar una o una altra. En aquest treball, ja que com veurem les aliances tendeixen a fracassar ja que les empreses no les implementen correctament o no dediquen el temps suficient a analitzar l'entorn i les condicions per veure quina estratègia li convé més a l'empresa, analitzarem els elements necessaris per fer-les funcionar i els factors claus d'èxit d'aquestes aliances com ara l'experiència, la reputació, la confiança, els objectius clars, el Know-how, la cultura ... A més en aquest treball analitzem el cas de l'aliança estratègica sorgida entre Disney i Pixar el 1991. Aquest anàlisi el duem a terme tenint en compte els factors que Dyer et. al. esmentà en el seu estudi. Aquest anàlisi el realitzem amb l'objectiu de conèixer si l'aliança realitzada per ambdues empreses va ser una estratègia encertada o si per contra deurien haver dut a terme una altra estratègia, la qual els hauria aportat més beneficis.
