my strategy class has spurred a sudden self-examination of my "grand strategy" to life--that is how i approach decision-making, set goals, and develop relationships with people and my environment. of course, my theory class applies this in the context of mass media, exploring various ways an organisation or group will relate itself to its stakeholders in the interest of building effective communication and public relations.

but i am currently considering the intransingent, the resistance, the cooperative and the integrative models as ways in which we as human beings live our lives . quite frankly, it seems that most people would ideally adopt a strategic approach within the cooperative and integrative parametres, enabling a balanced, cohesive, and symbiotic relationship with our publics. Though so many corporations and such have capitalised and thrived within the tight boundaries of the resistance and intransingent models, I think that very few people would boast such an approach in their own personal lives. But perhaps the attempt at a static relationship with our environment, an attempt to mold our environments to our own needs, is more pervasive than it most would like to admit. are these the people that get ahead?

Personally I find myself in the cooperative, but I am beginning to identify the ensuing tactics as disadvantageous and troublesome. Do I need to adjust my “grand strategy” to life?
