Text for Front Cover MASTER PLAN A Community Association Strategic Planning Guide for Homeowners Associations, Condominiums, and Housing Cooperatives Text for MASTER PLAN A common-sense approach... Powerful results! Alan Robbins created the CAPSERV Strategic Planning Process and wrote Master Plan to empower community association volunteers with the ability to develop well thought out strategic plans supported by pro-active communications and purposeful implementation. Whether you live in a new or well-established community, you can put together a successful plan with clarity of purpose and goals that are within your reach. Master Plan tells a compelling story about Forest Grove, a community that utilized CAPSERV planning solutions to implement a successful strategic plan that proactively changed the course of its future. By connecting Forest Grove's story with the step-by-step planning process outlined in this book, readers can gain a deeper understanding about how to carry out effective plans that enable their associations to accomplish their missions and fulfill the long-term aspirations for their communities. Note from author about cover - if a decision is made to do artwork, icons, or pictures on the front cover, I would suggest that your designers think in terms of residential housing developments and planned communities. If they do on line research for image concepts there should be plenty of images for inspiration under community associations and planned communities... I would stay away from images of people and general strategic planning. The primary and secondary front cover titles and back cover text do enough to cover the planning side.

This book by the Asia Competitiveness Institute (ACI) presents the inaugural regional competitiveness analysis for the five regions of India as a basis for the Master Plan on Strategic Regional Economic Development using regional classifications as defined by the Confederation of Indian Industry. Potential strategic clusters are identified for intra-regional collaboration given each region's unique strengths and resource endowments to facilitate accelerated economic growth and development which is balanced, fair and sustainable. The book also presents an update of ACI's annual competitiveness analysis of India's 35 states and federal territories. States and federal territories are ranked by ACI's comprehensive methodology by employing 75 indicators across four environments. Going beyond the rankings, the what-if policy simulations offer states and federal territories relevant policy prescriptions based on their respective strengths and weaknesses. A subset of the competitiveness indicators are then utilised for Geweke Causality Analysis to highlight the impact of strong leadership on economic development in the states of Bihar and Tamil Nadu.
