and strategic issues and highlights the impact of strategic decisions on the actual operating environment and on society as a whole. Section 1 introduces and defines key terms, regulatory
frameworks, and standards used domestically and internationally. Section 2 gives guidelines on developing programs for private businesses, governments at all levels (including tribal
