Getting a Sharper View of the Humanitarian Marketplace: Introducing Conduit Engagement Theory / Bock, Joseph G; Haque, Ziaul   Journal Article
Haque, Ziaul Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract There are differing views on the strengths and weaknesses of faith-based organizations relative to secular international nongovernmental organizations. This article argues that the theory of comparative advantage and the theory of organizational alignment are inadequate in helping to assess these strengths and weaknesses. The article offers a different perspective, called conduit engagement theory. It holds that humanitarian organizations naturally have specific relationships, organizational linkages, affiliations, or shared philosophies (referred to in the article as conduits) that enable certain programmatic interventions. Maximum effectiveness within the humanitarian marketplace is a function of the robustness of engagement of conduits with high-priority initiatives that have adequate funding over the necessary length of time. A new kind of tool for strategic planning within specific countries and for auditing at an organizational level are proposed.

Planning the unplannable: scenarios on the future of space / Huntley, Wade L; Bock, Joseph G; Weingartner, Miranda   Journal Article
Huntley, Wade L Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract This article explores the use of scenario analysis as a methodology to rigorously analyze potential space futures, particularly with respect to space security challenges, in the context of rapid and uncertain change across several dimensions of human space activities. The successful use of scenario analysis in other (e.g. corporate and military) sectors is described and results of an initial scenario analysis workshop are presented. Scenario analysis is recommended as a promising approach to evaluating the long-term consequences of various policy choices in the context of uncertainty, and as a process well-suited to fostering communication and building consensual knowledge among diverse stakeholders.
