The decision-making component of the process is supported by mechanisms to provide for continuous adjustment of planning and adaptation to an evolving environment. These include a) formally organized input from clients, b) "feedback" in the form of goal-attainment indicators or quantitative/qualitative measures of social and industrial changes and of program impact, and c) policy research or analysis directed to minimization of the intuitive element in decision making.Planning is conceived to be an integrated process combining a) definition of goals and establishment of priorities or policy objectives, essentially a political activity, b) selection of policies or strategies for the achievement of indicated objectives and the establishment of guidelines for programming, based on interaction between political leadership and expert advisers, and c) selection of programs and project design, i.e. tactical or operational planning, a specialist activity.

Abstract. Compared with other team settings, flight crew in air transport present a unique situation where the leader or supervisor regularly engages in active control. When the captain is assigned cognitively demanding pilot flying duties, the subordinate and often less experienced first officer must perform equally crucial monitoring and support duties. Using a systematic review methodology, this study reviews the reported effect of crew role assignment on flight safety outcomes. Our review identified 18 relevant studies and suggests crew performance factors linked to flight safety are affected by crew role assignment. Findings suggest a greater number of inherent obstacles may exist for optimal crew performance with the captain as pilot flying, raising the need for further specific research and policy review in this area.

The independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) was created in 2007 after a decade in which the share of foreign-born workers in the British labour force doubled to 13 per cent. The initial core mandate of the MAC was to provide “independent, evidence-based advice to government on specific skilled occupations in the labour market where shortages exist which can sensibly be filled by migration.” The MAC's answers to these 3-S questions, viz, is the occupation for which employers are requesting foreign workers skilled, are there labour shortages, and is admitting foreign workers a sensible response, have improved the quality of the debate over the “need” for foreign workers in the UK by highlighting some of the important trade-offs inherent in migration policy making. The MAC can clarify migration trade-offs in labour immigration policy, but cannot decide the ultimately political questions about whose interests should be prioritised and how competing policy objectives should be balanced.
