1.Research Motives and ObjectivesIn the wake of a changing, international community, public policy has become a major topic of discussion for governments when considering present and future undertakings. The ever increasing complexity of public affairs, and rapid expansion in how a government functions, brings a diverse number of problems policy makers must face, and, through no lack of effort on their part, its not possible for them to take everything into consideration. In order to supplement bias shown by the individual, I hope to integrate systems implementing expert knowledge and information technology to support policy makers in arriving at optimum decisions in an environment full of risk and uncertainty.Future society will be an information society, and Japanese futurologist Zeng-Tian Mi-Er in his book "Managing In the Information Society", predicts the future information society will be an equal society of citizen participation, information sharing and division of labor (translated by You Wan-Juan, 1984).

Yogi Berra once said, "the future ain't what it used to be."While I'll be the first to admit that quoting Yogi for wisdom's sake may lack credibility, this particular quote is quite relevant and meaningful today, especially for hiring managers, business owners, boards of directors, and anyone who is in the position to hire or promote an employee.Up until recently many employees were hired and promoted based on a simple theory: past performance is a good predictor of future performance.When the world was more predictable and change occurred over decades and not days or even minutes, past performance could be expected to lead to future success. That premise was based on a future environment that would be similar to the previous one.In today's world, that assumption is wrong. Predicting performance based on the past is iffy at best and often disastrous. You can just read the headlines about failed executives, financial gurus, and business super-stars who crashed and burned and it becomes readily apparent that past success does not guarantee future performance. What worked in the past could be the recipt for failure in the future.Hiring or promoting on past performance works if the...more
