McLaughlin and McLaughlin (2024) suggest that “although techniques vary, political feasibility prediction tends to rely on seeking out expert informants and asking them how key players are likely to respond to the policy or policy alternatives and how much they are likely to influence the policy outcome. The process therefore usually starts with identifying actors, also referred to as stakeholders” (p.126).

  • Explain the theories of political change, the actors, and what makes change possible.
  • Describe the differences between benefit-cost analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis within a health care organization’s strategic planning process.
