Now more than ever, corporations big and small face economic and market uncertainty created by inconsistent government economic and financial policy, unknown and unexpected competitors, rapid technological changes, and more. How do you plan for the future without knowing what the market environment will be or what changes government policies and regulation will cause? How do you craft a strategy to position yourself for a competition you know will emerge, but about which little is known or even knowable for some time? How do you prepare for the upheaval that technological changes - particularly new web business models - will cause among both markets and competitors? In the absence of vision and feedback, how do you lead? Mastering Uncertainty answers those questions and more, preparing you for the task ahead, facing the uncertainty and learning how to master it.
Keith B. Bickel challenges a host of military and strategic theories that treat particular bureaucratic structures, large organizations, and elites as the progenitors of doctrine. This timely study of how the military draws lessons from interventions focuses on the overlooked role that mid-level combat officers play in creating military doctrine. Mars Learning closely evaluates Marine civil and military pacification operations in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua, and illuminates the debates surrounding the development of Marine Corps' small wars doctrine between 1915 and 1940. The result is compelling evidence of how field experience obtained before 1940 played a role in shaping the Marine Corps' Small Wars Manual and elements of doctrine that exist today. How the Marines organized lessons at that time provides important insights into how doctrine is likely to be generated today in response to post-Cold War interventions around the globe.
