The need for strategic thinking Any planning that is formulated in a strategic vacuum or based on unsound strategic thinking invariably comes unstuck. Whether the decision is to buy or sell a business or to expand into new activities, while accepting that it is impossible to predict the future, it can be very useful to consider the

arrogant, stocky Americans, in all the audiences in all the fucking world, why did I have to bitch-slap the important one? Shit, shit, shit. Un-be-shitting-lievable. There was only one grown-up way to deal with a situation like this: suck up like a vacuum cleaner . . . ‘Hi, Jason, nice to meet you! I just wanted to say I really, really enjoyed your keynote speech yesterday – you made some really interesting points,’ I lied, praying that he wouldn’t ask me any questions about a keynote speech I hadn’t

Then the time will come when you will be solitary, left without sympathy; but this seeming vacuum is already filled with divine Love. When this hour of development comes, even if you cling to a sense of personal joys, spiritual Love will force you to accept what best promotes your growth. Friends will betray and enemies will slander, until the

“No person is a land-mass surrounded entirely by water, entire of him- or herself.” He might also have written “No system is an island . . . ,” and so on. Donne would have been right on all counts. Today’s business systems don’t typically emerge in vacuums. They have to work with others. Early in the process, the development team finds out exactly which systems the new system will depend on and which systems will depend on it. A system engineer takes care of this action, and produces a deployment diagram

Perhaps, but we often need to expend just a fraction of that effort to get adequate results. For example, my car is dirty and I need to wash it. If I wash it myself, I’ll spend about an hour on it, which will be enough time to wash the exterior, vacuum the interior, and clean the windows. For a one-hour investment I’ll have a fairly clean car. On the other hand, I could call a car detailing service and have them wash my car. They’ll spend four hours on it. They do everything I do but much more thoroughly

and social climate of a country is important for the development of its lobby groups. In the case of the United States, increased immigration during the postwar era, coupled with constitutional rights of free speech and redress as well as a power vacuum in the decision making process led to favorable conditions for the activities of special interest groups. In Canada, the 1960s also offered an increasingly positive environment for these types of groups. The economic upswing of the decade had

C’est le cadre qui est « vide » en un certain sens parce qu’il est fondé sur des catégories indéfinies. « L’infini » blanc du Carré Malévitchien est alors le champ de significations neutres et multiples, il n’est pas le « rien » au sens d’un vacuum. Le blanc ici présente l’unité des couleurs et des formes, c’est le moment final de tous les mouvements contradictoires de couleurs et de formes, où toutes les formes trouvent une équivalence 717 . Par conséquent, la création du « Carré blanc » est

thinking processes and that the content of thinking, including political thinking, is therefore best studied in the cultural and political contexts of meaning in which it occurs. If there are no context-free thinking processes, then there are no social vacuums in 95 Conover and Searing which, as microeconomists claim, we can theorize about thinking, or as we ourselves used to assume, discover universal laws of political behavior. The patterns and regularities that we investigate are not universal because

car elle cimente la vie familiale. Il y a deux scénarios possibles qui se dessinent par rapport à cette question fondamentale de l’autorité (93). Le premier est que cette famille sera éclatée avec des enfants livrés à eux-mêmes, évoluant dans un vacuum total à l’instar surtout des jeunes Noirs américains des ghettos ou comme ceux du Maroc qui ont été facilement endoctrinés par un discours extrémiste qui se voile sous la toque du religieux. Le deuxième est qu’il y ait une famille qui puisse faire
