To make matters more complicated, the plan may need to consider the broad range of disaster threats in Kava and focus on those that may be more relevant to some groups than to others.
We will need the assistance and support of as many helping organizations as possible such as government services, community-based organizations, faith-based groups and businesses. Just like the people of Kava, these groups are likely to have different priorities and agendas regarding industry focus and disaster threats and how to deal with the issues facing Kava. Further, these groups may even have opposing views to those of the people of Kava. Clearly, I will need to better understand the social, economic and political dynamics of Kava.
And, as a rookie, I will need to impress Alex and Chris to get the go ahead for my plan. Although these two at least appear to have similar aspirations for helping Kava, their thoughts on what the problems are and how to actually approach them may be radically different.
Apply critical thinking in the decision-making process have learned a great deal from reading Paul and Elder (2001) about how to apply critical thinking in the decision making process. I will need to figure out exact what I am trying to achieve and avoid the tendency to stray from my objectives. My goals will need to be realistic and have an achievable scope, especially since my plan must cover organizational processes, human resources...
I know that to be a skilled reasoner, I will need to consistently solicit these different views, understand them and empathize with all of them. In this way, I can be more reasonable and fair to all parties involved and can reduce the biases caused by my own beliefs and emotions.
Being new to Kava, I have a lot to learn and I lack credibility. Therefore, my plan's recommendations will need to have lots of supporting evidence to show that I've really done my homework. All conclusions will need to be based on solid data and logical reasoning. I will need to demonstrate that I have considered all implications and consequences for my recommendations, both positive and negative possibilities. Any inferences I make will have to be clearly identified as such with justifiable assumptions. My conclusions must be credible.

Developing infrastructure in Kava will be difficult precisely because of the problems that the infrastructure is meant to address -- terrorism, constant threats of destruction from natural disaster, and health problems that affect the workforce could all prevent or set back infrastructure development significantly. With the right commitment and effective, detailed planning in the infrastructure development, however, these problems can be mitigated and even overcome. The more infrastructure is
332-333, 336-337). The fallen angels' response to Satan's call is the final confirmation of his character, because it demonstrates how he is able to maintain the respect and interest of his followers even though it appears as if they have been stripped of everything. In this sense, Satan is a kind of idealized revolutionary leader, outmatched by the "Almighty" but unwilling to give up, all the while maintaining the respect
Decisions in Paradise The many infrastructure and culturally-based challenges that Nik, his team and Mr. Morales face illustrate how challenging new business development can be in an island nation the size and location of Kava. What is immediately apparent from the case is that there is ample opportunity to enrich the island's economy and people while also building a strong, scalable business at the same time. Today however the island nation
Best of all, any initiative in these areas, priced fairly for the island natives, delivers significant social value, or economic good for the nation and abodes by Mr. Morale's belief that in the long run, economics drives everything needs to be added to that by doing these core processes well, his company is doing good. The social conscience of Mr. Morales is also clear, and the ability to take
These two techniques of reflexive and logic-reasoning are very effective in creating consensus and insight form multiple decision makers over time (Muller, Turner, 2010). In the long-term, this technique of decision making and the involvement of the leaders on Kava can potentially reduce their resistance to the development as well. After Nik and his team have defined their common vision, mission and objectives, they need to also define the strategies
Using Benchmarking to Create a Mass Communications Strategy While the focus is on creating educational television as the basis for launching an educationally-based business, the use of benchmarking could also be used as the basis for giving Nik and his team credibility throughout the nation as well. The publication of benchmarks and their explanation leads to authenticity and trust being created over time (Pemberton, Stonehouse, Yarrow, 2001). These benchmarks could then
