碩士 === 國防管理學院 === 資源管理研究所 === 87 === The main motivation of this study is to distinguish the role and substance between "Strategy" and "Military Strategy", to clamp their institutions, and to establish a pondering ŗ in 1" management model, which is not only incorporating practicality but also combing models of risk management, crisis management and strategic management. The purpose is to provide a rational decision framework based on the interests of organization, and can facilitate open debate for the high level managers in formulating their correlated plans and alternatives. If decision maker can't have a macroscopic view or acts without careful thought, then he would set foot in decision traps very easily. Either system analysis or decision analysis are frameworks of rational thinking process. Just as Beaufre once said: " Strategy is not a simple rule but a kind of method of thinking". The traditional strategic thoughts are not all banal, Suntz's "The art of War" for example, is a time proven principle of strategy, different only in technical setting, levels of thinking, and methods to achieve objective. However it is not enough to adjust strategy in time, we need to adduce from history to ascertain some basic principles when making responsive adjustment. After the Cold War, the subject of U.S. "Containment Strategy" might have changed, but she still stresses the balance of power principle. Facing the "Would not give up solving the Taiwan problem by forces," and the " Three Emptiness" policies from the PRC, it will be beneficial for us to get a better understanding on the development of U.S. National Security Strategy, and to regain initiative on our national security strategy. Crisis management is a systematically thinking process, to prevent crisis happening, and to response and dispose when it occurs. The object of risk management is debasing the risk of investment or management, if we can't continuously find and cure the potential mutations among the critical factors in advance, then it might trick a serial crisis and result in failure of strategy. Thus risk management, crisis management and strategic management can't be looked at in isolation, and must be incorporated. Hence we come up with the concept of ŗ in 1" management model. After the study of decision process concerning national security strategy, we believe that the model of ŗ in 1" management thinking is a logical one. It can aid high level decision, enhance the quality of decision, effectively integrate the miscellaneous management in the organization, and avoid setting foot in decision traps. Thus it is worthy to recommend this conceptual framework of management.
