Strategic research and strategic decision-making are emerging disciplines that originated and developed in Western countries such as Europe and the United States since World War II. Their purpose is to provide multiple-choice solutions for government political decision-making, military strategies, and major actions. Primarily through the form of think tanks, they leverage collective wisdom to bridge the gap and shortcomings between decision-makers' responsibilities and capabilities, serving as a bridge between knowledge and politics. This makes decision-making more selective, evidence-based, efficient, and scientific.
Public management, in its essence, requires the government to provide public services that transcend partisan conflicts for all members of society, regardless of class, group, or race. Therefore, it embodies all the connotations of a democratic, accountable, capable, efficient, and transparent government administrative system in a modern market economy. From this perspective, we propose the concept of public information. It refers to public decision-making perspectives derived from open media, public spaces, and public figures, reflecting the trends and dynamics of economic and social development. This is reusable, data-driven, public, and universally applicable shared information for all public management departments, strategic decision-making institutions, and policy research units.
Therefore, it serves as a practical guide for building a harmonious society and a must-read text for scientific development. More importantly, it is a typical textbook for leaders at all levels to grasp the rules of governance and a summary of experience in innovation and reform.
Lastly, it should be noted that all the cases selected in this book are from the Weekly Leadership and Decision-Making Information magazine and the three reports published around the same time: China's National Policies Report 2006, China's National Conditions Report 2006, and China's National Strength Report 2006.
