Reflection Paper (Kaliningrad Simulation Exercise) The Kaliningrad wargame was very useful to apply RSP learning outcomes and understand the roles and responsibilities of different international actors in complex challenge environment. Coming from the Region with same complex security challenges helped to reflect in more international and bigger conflict. The simulation exercise was flexible with possibility to apply the DIME, international organization, frame strategy, generate strategic options and decision making during in a complex environment. Firstly, using the doctrinal method of Approach to Operations, with purpose to understand the cultural, political, decision-making and organizational networks helped me to share views with my team
Address the team members concerns about the management thinking in the light of world affairs. I would prefer to organize a session
Critically analyze the organization from the systems approach. You should consider the inputs, transformation and output elements of the operation and consider how the system creates value.
* What organizational structure, management processes, and philosophy will foster superior performance from the company’s business units?
There are several approaches to organizational management, the first includes formulating a plan, blueprint, or roadmap to make the intended function or process work, selecting a team needed to analyze the business or organization’s primary functions, and devise a matrix needed to manage the different roles, responsibilities, and positions within the business or organization. These approaches to organizational management are based on management theories, the assumptions that companies can control their future, and predict the outcome.
There are no universal theories to explain the true nature and character of war, and any war theories are not a fact or absolute truth. All strategic principles are dynamic and contextual, so “every age had its own kind of war, its own limiting conditions, and its own peculiar preconceptions.” The battlefield environment of the 21st century will be the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, and nature of war will be completely different because of the Revolution in Military Affairs. Highly advance communication and information technologies, a dramatic increase in computing capabilities, developed of precision munitions, dominant air and space power ‘war could be waged by the projection of
Over the course of history, the strategic environment has changed rapidly and is now more complex than ever before – it is currently characterized by unpredictability and disorder, and may yet manifest itself in the collapse of nuclear armed nations, destabilizing conflict in geo-politically vital regions, and humanitarian crises. A world of disparate actors – not all nation states – now exists. Unpredictable events will continue to cause strategic surprise. The widespread effects of past conflicts such as World War II, Vietnam and the Iraq war are still being felt and have created significant strategic repercussions. The failures of these conflicts are the result of our military and political leaders’ failure to quickly adapt to wartime conditions. This occurs because of a general refusal to commit to a military culture of learning that encourages serious debate, critical assessments of our military operations, and challenges to our doctrine in the face of emerging change. Additionally, leaders have struggled with the critical responsibility of forecasting and providing for a ready force, one that is well-resourced and prepared to conduct future operations. It is the responsibility of our military and political leaders to send our military to war with a ready force, and a strategy that will ultimately result in victory. But understanding war and warriors is critical if societies and governments are to make sound judgments concerning military policy.
The authors were successful on this step by creating a valuable and diverse team that complimented each other, which was a necessity to ensure they had mixed points of views and opinions. Next, the team must create the approach they are going to take, and to be sure each team member has a clear understanding of the benefits for the future of everyone involved. This step was evident by the group meetings. Fourth, it is imperative for the team to demonstrate impeccable communication skills and the ability to influence others to comprehend the significance of the change (Kotter and Rathgeber 2006).
“In order to be successful in that case Mr.Dees manages the conflict constructively. He generated the current solutions and searched fort he common acceptable solution. Also asking to the team members shows that he triedto figure out what they have learned. In addition to this, he gave importance on Rational Goal Model and to its analysis. He focused on providing a vision that inspires followers and justifies the organization. To achieve this vision, the steps needed to be taken were clarified fort he optimum effectiveness.”
Clausewitz defines war as an “act of force to compel our enemy to do our will.” The nature of war is enduring yet the character of war changes over time. Current US strategic guidance is advancing the point of view that since the character of war has changed to focus on irregular wars then the US military should prepare for a future of irregular wars. This shift in focus forgets that the nature of war is enduring and in order to be successful, we must prepare for all types of conflict. This paper will define the types of conflict and the likelihood of each followed by a discussion of US strategic guidance and ending with an analysis of the training resources and force structure requirements needed to achieve success for all types of
Each approach gives an understanding of the change that has impacted the company. Understanding gained from the study opened a new interpretation of the company. The new interpretation reveals effective work that can be capitalized on the strengths of the company and to expand and develop existing practices already in place. This approach will minimize the problems.

Accept that management itself is governed by the science developed for each operation and surrender its arbitrary power over worker, that is, cooperate with them.
The world we live in today is dynamic in nature. Strategists are quite aware of this fact and hence, strategy formulation is a day to day duty to adjust into the changing world. A strategy is a concept for relating means to ends which is difficult and requires a proper calculation to achieve efficacy. The nature of the strategy is constant throughout history, but its character continually evolves with changes of factors such as economy, technology, society, and political ideas. Other factors such as past historical experiences and geographical location may not change. The formulation of strategy involves the creative act of choosing a means, an end, a way to relate the two, or a combination of all the three. Hence, competitive strategy formulation is critical in setting up a framework for achieving success by decision makers. Additionally, a thorough evaluation of both tangible and non-tangible factors in planning is necessary. There is need to evaluate expected end results or setting objectives, how to commit available resources, and the subsequent monitoring. This essay highlights how strategists should weigh considerations of both tangible and non-tangible factors in the formulation and execution of strategy. It will also analyze history (non-tangible) and technology (tangible) factors, to showcase how the two applied in decision making during the Kosovo crisis.
It is essential that excellent management theories can be implemented so that they do not compromise management policies (Ghoshal 2005). Organizational Analysis, Task Analysis and Person Analysis can be used to identify the role/roles that need to be filled, how they will do it and who will do it so that the company can reach the organizations strategic goals and business objectives. Organizational Analysis is generally conducted by mid-level to senior management and is involved with the direction of training by the analysis of environmental factors, working resources and internal resources e.g. Balanced Scorecards. Managers must make sure that there is a good organizational climate, reward systems and appropriate efficacy measures (Amna,
