Environmental Controls

Paper Summary:

This paper concentrates on studies of the process of strategic planning for service organizations that are involved in the control of environmental difficulties. The paper uses examples from suffering parts of the world and discusses the effects of the poor environmental controls that are being felt by a large section of the population in quite a few countries.

From the Paper:

"When this particular plan was made for Lake Victoria, in Africa, the opinion was collected from all the concerned people and thus the environmental problems were quantified. It was seen that a lot of the problems came from the very rapid growth of population in the area. This was followed up by the extensive effort of finding out the quality and quantity of pollutants that were present in the area. Only after this was a composition of plans for the control of these problems feasible. The result is determination of human and institutional capacity increases. The activities involved are "fisheries research and management, water hyacinth control, improving water quality and better management for use of land". (Orach-Meza, 2001) Thus one can say that for correct strategic planning it is important to make a total plan, take the opinion of all persons involved with the activity for which the plan is being made, think about the long term and make sure that the plan will be supported by all."
