Planning, programming, budgeting system and alternative futures contingency budgets: a comparative theoretical analysis
No full textreportI am delighted to express my appreciation for the assistance in the completion of this study provided by many individuals. A very large debt of gratitude is owed to Professor Frank C. Hachman and Mr. Craig Bigler, Associate Utah State Planning Coordinator, in that they are responsible for the original ideas and proposals which developed into the Utah Process and were also intimately involved in the successful carrying out of that project. Other co-workers on the Utah Process project in the State Planning Coordinator\u27s Office to whom special recognition is due include Douglas C. W. Kirk, Bruce L. Heath, and Rhead S. Bowman. In a very real sense, much thanks is due to the entire Utah State Government, but special mention must be made of Governor Calvin L. Rampton and the three State Planning Coordinators under whom the Utah Process was originated and carried out: Kenneth C. Olson, William G. Bruhn, and Burton L. Carlson

No full textAuthor: Corie Weathers
Reviewed by Rodger M. Kissane, graduate student, College of International Security Affairs, National Defense University
Rodger M. Kissane provides a thoughtful review of this important book on “bridging and even transcending generational differences” in the US military. Kissane highlights author Corie Weathers’s “insightful . . . recognition that each generation imprints itself upon the institution in ways that reflect their life experiences.” He also outlines the book’s relevance to leaders in that Weathers addresses “ ‘messy dynamics’ leaders confront in synthesizing . . . various perspectives, ideals, and values.”https://press.armywarcollege.edu/parameters_bookshelf/1045/thumbnail.jp

The implementation of composite computer mapping for the four corners regional commission 1971
No full textreportComposite computer mapping (CCM) is the name assigned to a recently developed technique to enhance the quality of decision making in the administration of aid to economic development. The name accurately implies a combination of two techniques which have been used with varying effectiveness for mapping, but mostly for other purposes, for a long time: composite mapping and computer mapping. The combination of the two does far more than add to the usefulness of them--it combines the two visual display capabilities into an unprecedented analytical tool. For many years, computers have been taught to produce various kinds of maps. The primary advantage inherent in computer mapping is the tremendous capacity for data storage and its quick retrieval. For example, the computer can be programmed to print out symbols representing various classes of data over the census tracts of a city. Such things as assessment valuation are stored and processed by the computer. A map showing relative rankings of residential valuations by census tracts serves to locate those areas of a city with the highest residential capital investment. Comparison of this map with a map representing population density can serve to indicate quality of housing relative to number of occupants. Comparison of these maps with one representing per capita income can provide further indication of social conditions. Additional maps would provide even more indication. However, an analyst would soon reach a point where his ability to use and comprehend additional maps would decline
