Implementing Strategy in a Budget: A Model for the Coast Guard Reserve

Abstract

This thesis discusses the management strategy of the Coast Guard Reserve; it examines the formulation and implementation of strategy. A model to develop and implement strategy is proposed, which defines the role of the budget in this strategic management process. The recent strategy of the Coast Guard Reserve is analyzed using this model. This analysis seems to indicate that the Coast Guard Reserve had no explicit strategy in the 1980's; however, the Reserve did execute an implicit strategy as inferred from its actions. This implied strategy enjoyed varying degrees of success depending on the criterion of evaluation. Where the criterion shows limited success, I recommend solutions to the various problems. A principle solution involves, the Coast Guard Reserve expanding and formalizing the strategic process, including the use of the budget as a means to that end.
