| Abstract | This article attempts to help decision-makers in Taiwan deal with the complexity of administrative reforms by adopting the process of strategic planning. The study simulates the first two stages in the policy process - problem identification and policy initiation. Administrative problems were identified by public administration experts through a survey, and the substance of the problems was analysed according to the framework developed by Gabris. The problems cited result primarily from the internally and externally generated frustrations experienced by public employees. According to practitioner respondents, remedies for the problems would require major changes at higher decision-making levels and changes in society's conception of the public sector. Many of the problems appear to be beyond any meaningful control by practitioners. |
