Objective: The present study had the purpose of analyzing variables that directly influence the strategic planning of the Pro-Rectory Student (PROEST) of the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL) using scenario building management tools.  Methodology: The research is exploratory and applied with the use of survey, documentary, bibliographic, questionnaires and interviews with the civil servants, managers and students in a quali-quanti cross-sectional analysis with scenario focusing on the scenario from the SWOT matrix and survey of priority actions from the perspective of the target audience  Originality: The application of scenario analysis tools, using the SWOT matrix as a guide and delimiter of the planning of actions to be developed by the UFAL, enables a new perception of the academic unit in relation to problem situations and management focus.Main results: Students in a situation of socioeconomic vulnerability glimpse a greater amount of actions aimed at direct transfer of resources, which is justified due to the difficulties faced daily by these students who use these resources to maintain their activities at the University and in self and family support; on the other hand, the SWOT matrix presents a scenario of offensive weakness where the unit does not have internal organizational capacity related to the totality of PNAES actions.  Theoretical Contributions: The adoption of scenario analysis tools enables the integrationbetween planning and operation of the strategic process in the construction of multiannual planning with the use of configurations and awareness of characteristics for effective deliberation, including the best paths after organizational diagnosis analysis.

This article aims to analyse the process of formation of sports public policy in Lithuania within the theoretical context of hierarchy governance. This study consisted of collection and analysis of official documents regarding sports public policy formation from 2011 until 2018. The data collection was aimed at uncovering of key components of the process of public policy formation – environmental analysis, strategic planning, competence and decision making power, and stakeholders. The main findings of the research concluded that Lithuanian sports governance, along with the majority of other European countries, is defined as bureaucratic configuration. The main responsibility within the process of sports public policy formation falls on the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports and active national non-government sports organisations, while principal objectives of the Lithuanian sports public policy formation are laid out in strategic documents. However, the implementation needs to be centred on institutional and personal responsibility, proper environmental regard and tolerance, and the ability to listen and to reach an agreement.

And Performance

This chapter seeks to explain the poor performance of public policy tools in Turkey through strategic planning and performance auditing utilising the “boomerang effect” concept mainly used in communication studies. For this analysis the study follows the steps of the heuristic public policy cycle model. After clarifying the transfer process of strategic planning and performance auditing to the Turkish administrative system, the study focuses on the implementation of these policy tools. Demonstrating the poor performance of these tools with reference to some empirical studies, the chapter discusses four reasons of non-implementation of policy tools, namely the exposure of political power to public scrutiny, Turkish administrative culture, lack of domestic contribution and the leverage power of international and regional organizations.

The present work is the result of studies performed at the college’s subject Education, Public Policy and Management in Education. The function of this work is to investigate the tensions, contradictions and new challenges that are engendered in the confrontations towards the assurance and the denial of the right to education for the peasant population. The research was developed through a documentation analysis of qualitative nature, guided in the dialectical historical materialism approach as a method. This work is based on the theoretical assumptions defended by Arroyo and Fernandes (1999), Caldart (2003; 2011), Marx and Engels (2011, among others. The findings indicate advances in the Education National Plan (2014), but it did not show significant achievements towards the Field’s Education. There is a long way to go in the educational rights for the peasant population, which are permeated by tensions, contradictions and challenges. significant achievements with regard to the Rural Education.

Rule Making

This chapter examines the development of strategic planning practices from around 1960. Strategic planning advanced on the prior practice of long-range planning by emphasizing choice, competition, and control. It also made an initial step towards more open forms of strategizing by widening the discourse of strategy among managerial elites. Strategic planning’s rise was supported by three exogenous forces: growing organizational complexity, a culture of rationality, and new analytical technologies. Nevertheless, strategic planning’s development still took two kinds of arduous and fallible institutional work: ‘rule-making’ and ‘resource-organizing’. Under the first, corporate strategists, such as Shell’s Pierre Wack, created and disseminated techniques, such as scenario analysis, while consultants, such as BCG and McKinsey, promoted portfolio analysis. Under the second, entrepreneurs, such as Bruce Henderson, had to create new consulting organizations, such as BCG, and corporate strategists, such as Jack McKitterick at General Electric, built the first corporate strategy units.

Information technology (IT) is often less emphasized in coursework related to public administration education, despite the growing need for technological capabilities in those joining the public sector workforce. This coupled with a lesser emphasis on e-government/IT skills by accreditation standards adds to the widening gap between theory and practice in the field. This study examines the emphasis placed on e-government/IT concepts in Master of Public Administration (MPA) and Master of Public Policy (MPP) programs, either through complete course offerings or through related courses such as public management, strategic planning, performance measurement and organization theory. Based on a content analysis of their syllabi, the paper analyzes the extent to which the IT/e-government courses in MPA/Master of Public Policy programs address the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration competency standards, and further discuss the orientation of the courses with two of the competencies: management and policy. Specifically, are e-government/IT courses more management-oriented or policy-oriented? Do public management, strategic planning, performance measurement, and organization theory courses address IT concerns?

Educational Field

The quality of public policy in educational field seen from gender perspective can be divided into three levels: responsive, neutral, and potentially bias to gender issues. Among the policies of education in Banyumas Regency, which is stated in Strategic Planning (Renstra) of 2008-2013 and Renja of 2012, there was only one policy which could be categorized into responsive to gender issues, while others were neutral to gender issues. From this fact, it can be concluded that gender has not been a mainstream in Education Affairs Office (Dinas Pendidikan) of Banyumas Regency. The activities concerning gender issues have been just programmed and only incidentally realized by one section of the office. The success or failure of the integration of gender in educational policy in Banyumas regency is influenced by four factors of its formulation, namely the capacity of human resources, capacity building, the strength of networking, and organization culture.
