Case Study
In general
knowledge, policy is like a statement of objective or goal, and an
implementation need such a goal in order to judge whether that implementation
is successful or failed.
The policy of the project in Oakland
is to increase the employment rate among minority group. Therefore, the govt
has established a policy that the govt will provides budget (financial support)
to any facility which promises to create jobs for the minority group.
The government provides 3 million-
budget to Oakland. If any company has ability to create jobs for minorities,
that company will be able to get the loan from the government.
If the company agrees with the
condition, he will get the financial support to construct the factory. When a
factory is established, it would need a lot of human labors. Then the minorities will be provided jobs to
do; as the result, the unemployment rate among the minority group will be
decreased. Therefore, the govt’s platinum goal will be achieved.
In contrast, if the company doesn’t
agree with the govt’s condition, the construction will be halted resulting in
no new jobs for the minority group.
So to say, the policy is like a
system that requires the each element of the process to be implemented so as to
achieve the objective of the policy. If any of the elements cannot be
implemented, the policy will not be successful.
