PurposeThis paper aims to examine the design and use of scenarios in planning and management control processes.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on an exploratory case-study approach. Qualitative data have been collected between 2008 and 2011 from three energy companies operating in Italy.FindingsThe paper sheds light on three styles of designing and using scenarios. In the first (called “reactive”), scenarios provide a means for corporate actors to analyse past performance in the light of future expected performance. In the second (“proactive”), scenarios contribute to envision different future states of the world. In the third (“disciplined”), scenarios contribute to develop plausible, if not accurate, narratives about future outcomes.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is comparative and exploratory. Possible areas for further work based on in-depth studies of scenarios within planning and control processes are identified.Practical implicationsThe comparative analysis of the case-study material has implications for the ways in which flexible forms of management control can be mobilised by managers as a resource of action. It is shown that choices around the design and use of scenarios can mitigate some concerns with traditional planning and management control processes focused on the achievement of a single set of targets, but also raise new ones.Originality/valueThe paper sheds light on a scenario-based approach – called “disciplined flexibility” – that avoids the restrictive nature of budgetary controls without losing the benefits of setting a plan and a target for the future. The paper outlines elements that may support the use of “disciplined flexibility”, but also its potential limitations.

With the onset of COVID-19 and game-changes like ubiquitous technology, artificial intelligence and global economies, public high schools are challenged to provide a new level of education. In order for the United States and other countries to compete on a global scale, school leaders need to reevaluate and redesign educational programs to provide students the exposure and experience needed to become globally competent competitors. This collective case study examined the knowledge of educators ranging from school leaders to teachers in regards to the predicted global megatrends, the future 2030 workforce, game-changing technology and the impact at three public high schools. The study examined how the process of change was implemented, how each school addressed challenges and barriers, and to what degree each school was able to transition to an online environment during the unexpected 2020 COVID-19 shutdown. The study design incorporated a mixed method case study approach. The information collected consisted of school leader and teacher interviews, as well as review of artifacts, documents and data. The researchers concluded that school transformation needs to start with an understanding of the future workforce and potential megatrends. Most importantly, schools must take action regardless of the challenges and barriers before them.

Tourism villages are projected as an alternative to the new normal era tourist destinations. The tourism segment changes along with the new normal era, so tourists will choose private destinations such as nature-based tourism. The existence of a tourist village that implements CHSE (Cleanliness, Health, Safety and Environment Sustainability) assures tourists to travel safely in tourist villages. The research method uses descriptive qualitative analysis with a case study approach. The SWOT analysis shows that the potential of a tourist village can be developed into a developed tourism village, currently, there are 16 certified tourist villages and other tourist villages
