Exploring the Issues in Policy Deployment Using SAP-LAP and eIRP Approaches: An Empirical Case Study

Policy deployment refers to the formulation of policies, their implementations, and reviews. Every organization irrespective of its size and sector involves the process of policy deployment. There exist many factors that affect the process of policy deployment. These factors pose flexibilities that can alter the outcome of a policy. This paper explores the flexibilities in the choice of the factors governing a policy decision. An Indian auto-spare part industry with certain policy issues is selected for theory building. A framework model for solving the policy deployment issues is formulated using an interpretive comparative technique known as situation-actor-process-learnings-actions-performance (SAP-LAP). It is based on the comparative study of contextual relationships within and among its various elements. The contextual relationship within a particular element is presented in the form of a self-interaction matrix and the contextual relationships among the elements are depicted using the cross-interaction matrix. Further, the actors and actions of the framework are ranked using an efficient interpretive ranking process (eIRP) for easy selection and prioritization. The ranks obtained through the efficient IRP model will facilitate the policymakers in the formulation of better decisions and implementation of key policies.

The Comparative Study

In this paper, I examine two key relationships relevant to the comparative study of policy implementation. The first is the linkage between the structure of elites, techniques of mobilization, and local policy implementation. Although many studies of elites have emphasized the effects of integration on political stability, they have only recently addressed the question of how elite integration affects policy implementation. More specifically, how does the existence of elites that are deeply divided over policy issues affect the power capabilities and opportunities of those elites and, therefore, the methods they employ to mobilize support for their policies? And how do these techniques affect the pattern

The Comparative Study

Chapter 1 begins with a concise overview of the ways earlier scholars have examined populism during consecutive waves of research on the topic, and goes on to expose common conceptual and methodological errors—such as obscuring the genus, overemphasizing essentialism while overlooking ontology, concept stretching, the incertitude about negative poles, and the difficulties with concept operationalization—before setting out to elaborate a truly minimal definition that can sufficiently account for the comparative study of modern populism. The chapter ends with a presentation of the book’s overall framework of analysis, which condenses the main methodological tools—such as indicators, variables, and concept properties—to be used later on during theory-building.

The Comparative Study

This paper first research two old city transformation projects’ basic information: the Shanghai little Lujiazui and London Canary Wharf. Then do the comparative study in the full life cycle view from four aspects: the management target, the management subject, the management object and the management process. Due to the two countries different system and development levels, even the similar old city transformation project, still reflect different aspects of management in the strategic adjustment, resources allocation and construction standards. Learning advanced experience, learning from each other, are always comparative analysis purposes.

The Comparative Study

Abstract The present article represents a partial outcome of a larger project that focuses on the history of the beginnings of anthropology as an organized science at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries, in the broader socio-political context of Central Europe. Attention is focused especially on the nationalist and social competitions that had an important impact upon intellectual developments, but in turn were influenced by the activities of scholars and their public activities. The case study of Vojtěch (Alberto) Frič, traveler and amateur anthropologist, who in the first two decades of the twentieth century presented to European scientific circles and the general public in the Czech Lands his magnanimous vision of the comparative study of religions, serves as a starting point for considerations concerning the general debates on the purpose, methods, and ethical dimensions of ethnology as these were resonating in Central European academia of the period under study.

Abstract- There are allegations that elements of Javanese temples are also can be found at The Angkorian temples because the Java Middle Classic temples are older than Angkorian temples and Jayawarman II lived in Java at that time. This can be proved by a comparative process between the architecture elements: mass, plans, figures and ornaments owned by the temples that represents its era in both kingdom. Angkor Wat is a synthesis of the development in Angkor culture that reach its the peak of glory. Angkor Wat has architectural elements of Java Middle Classic temples, especially Prambanan and Borobudur. This led to the alleged of similarity from architectural elements between the temples in the two kingdoms. This Study approached by quantitative with semi qualitative method. Through the study on the main temple buildings of the Java Middle Classic and the main temples of the Angkor Wat era with purposive sampling in relation of mass, plan, figure, and ornament. Described descriptively.Angkor Wat is generally inspired by Borobudur-Prambanan. Broadly speaking, it shows the similarity of Prambanan-Borobudur architectural elements to Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is a synthesis of combining the elements (eclecticism) of Borobudur-Prambanan, but Prambanan has stronger element (indoor temple, tower temple, Hindu temple). In principle (mass, plan, and figure) shows the incorporation of Borobudur-Prambanan, but by ornament on its processing indicates there is further development (dominated findings exist but not similar).
