Generally, if policy making is is done in response
to external changing trends and environment. This kind of policy
making is mainly found in businesses. it is not a ideal situation
if a social agenda is involved.
EG, a business styled social policy involves:
External factors and Environment
> Changing social Ideals > policies
But policy making for social purposes should not respond to
external conditions and environment. It should attempt to do a
collective agreement with other entitites with a simliar motive to
change the environment and external conditions to suit its
policies. This is called bargaining power in context with an
enterprising agreement with external factors. it is the ideal
situation and it requires bargaining power and ability.
EG, a Humanitarian social policy involves:
Social Ideals > Changing
external factors and environment > policies
In singapore and most capital driven countries, most social
policies follow the business styled fundamentals to link social
policies with that of business policies because they lack this
bargaining power and ability to change the environment and bring
about ideal conditions to carry out social policy making. The bad
thing about this is that it does not have to adhrere to ideal
social conditions and is not a win-win situation for both
sides.
Countries like Australia and the United kingdom push for
Enterprising and bargainings agreement with their environment in an
attempt to suit ideals for social policymaking. As a result
their businesses and economy is modelled for social policies. The
good thing about this is that businesses and economy will have to
adhrere to ideal social conditions to operate. The end product is
an economy driven by good practices and ethical behavour which
produces a win win situation for both sides
