Issues
Management in Strategic Planning (Hardcover),
by William L. Renfro, Quorum Books (September 30, 1993).
Emerging
issues in the external environment have more influence on the future of corporations than
do their CEO's and strategic management team. As a result, corporate executives must
anticipate and manage emerging external issues in addition to their traditional internally
focused responsibilities. Renfro has provided the first comprehensive chart of these new,
uncertain waters. From environmental scanning, to issues research, to developing
priorities and issue action strategies, Renfro brings state-of-the-art concepts and
methods down to practical applications with his pioneering models of the life cycles of
public issues at the national and state level. Once the issues management process is
presented and explained, Renfro turns to two important concepts: how to design and build
an issues management function in an existing organization; and second, the changing role
of the issues media in the evolving public issues process. Backed with timely examples of
successes and failures in managing emerging issues, Renfro distills two decades of
experience into a series of guidelines. Renfro also reviews the most popular
pitfalls--fast cats, fat cats, black, and copy cats--in building an issues management
capability. Information

Planning for Local Government: A Handbook for Officials and Citizens

You'd
think "strategic planning" would be obvious. It has long been a common practice
in the corporate world. It has, however, only recently been applied to the public sector.
Local governments find such planning increasingly useful as they strive to overcome the
constraints imposed by traditional, short-term government planning practices. These 24
articles examine sound (proven) public sector strategic planning theories. They
demonstrate the different kinds of planning used in 16 successful governments, and provide
assessments of the future of this important tool. Information
