An Empirical Study of Intelligence Strategy Implementation

Abstract

Strategy implementation suffers from a general lack of academic attention. The need for improved implementation of strategies in law enforcement and policing has been emphasised by both scholars and practitioners. Implementation is important for four reasons. First, the failure to carry out a strategy can cause lost opportunities, duplicated efforts, incompatible organisational units and wasted resources. Second, the extent to which a strategy meets its objectives is determined by implementation. Third, the lack of implementation leaves police officers dissatisfied and reluctant to continue doing strategic planning work. Finally, the lack of implementation creates problems establishing and maintaining priorities in future strategic planning. In this empirical study, implementation of intelligence strategy is studied in a causal relationship with organisation structure and organisation culture. It is found that a knowledge organisation structure has a significant positive influence on the extent of strategy implementation.

A Theoretical Framework for Four Key Selected Determinants of Municipal Financial Performance

“…A qualitative study by Naidoo & Wu (2011) indicated a remarkable result from an interviewed manager who explained that "without human capital, there is no future in the organization". Similarly, authors (Nikbin et al, 2010;Naidoo & Wu, 2011;Gottschalk & Gudmundsen, 2010) have highlighted that human capital can improve the image of the organization. A study conducted by Nikbin et al (2010) using a survey data collection from 102 managers in various public sectors of the northern region of Malaysia indicated that accessing the ability and trustworthy of individuals in very much important in the language of human capital.…”

“…Human capital: Human capital can be described as a combination of skills, knowledge, and experience by people or population viewed in terms of their value or cost to an organization (Nikbin, Saad, & Ismai, 2010). Human capital plays an integral role to achieve desired goals of the organization (Gottschalk et al, 2010). A qualitative study by Naidoo & Wu (2011) indicated a remarkable result from an interviewed manager who explained that "without human capital, there is no future in the organization".…”

The Impact of Youth Sports on Leadership Styles in the Hospitality Industry

“…Change management is critical for 21 st century businesses and hospitality firms, so the ADKAR model can help hospitality companies compete in today's globally diverse work environments. However, diverse leadership theories and paradigms are needed to apply the ADKAR model to hospitality firms and other business corporations (Gottschalk, Gudmundsen, & Yngve, 2010).…”

“…Crisis management solutions were sought to combat internal and external contingencies impacting hospitality firms, so hospitality leaders used their leadership qualities and characteristics to influence team members to accept change initiatives in their work environment (Israeli et al, 2011). Effective organizations were comprised of a group of team members intentionally organized to reach set goals, and those team members were provided with a structured vision of how the organization should be working throughout organizational processes (Israeli et al, 2011;Gottschalk et al, 2010).…”

Evidence‐based solution to information sharing between law enforcement agencies

“…For example, Bichard (2004) noted that there were 43 police forces within the UK, each working with a different information technology system. In 2004, the National Intelligence Model (NIM) was introduced as a means of forcing police agencies to engage in a more targeted and strategic approach to law enforcement based on resource planning, risk assessment, and information sharing (Gottschalk and Sommerseth-Gudmundsen, 2010;Maguire and John, 2006;Ratcliffe, 2005). Moreover, PIJPSM 34,1 Bichard (2004) recommended that the Data Protection Act be revised to provide guidance on the sharing of information.…”
