| 總結: | In an age of accelerating global change, effective strategic planning is increasingly a
survival imperative for national governments. Singapore has long proven adept in
this area, institutionalizing foresight in governance through programmes like
interagency scenario planning and, more recently, a Risk Assessment and Horizon
Scanning network. Yet Singapore’s approach is enabled as much by cultural,
historical, and geographical factors as it is by government willingness to invest in
organizational innovation. The aim of this working paper is to compare government
strategic planning in Singapore with that of a large country—the United States—and
examine the contextual differences that give rise to their divergent approaches. It
concludes with an assessment of what the two countries can learn from each other. |
