Phase I: Survey of Authorities 



List the organizational entities (i.e., agencies, 

 interest groups, private organizations) that are 

 involved; then describe the legal authorities (statutory 

 and case law) that condition the actions of these 

 organizations. 



Phase II: Role Analysis 



Describe the roles expected to be played by each 

 organization that is a party to the problem. 



Phase III: Power Analysis 



Describe the elements that make up each organization's 

 base of power, and evaluate the relative power of each 

 entity that is party to the problem. 



Phase IV: Behavior Analysis 



Based on knowledge of roles and power, predict the 

 behavior (concerns, needs, and tactics) of each 

 organization and prepare a plan of action.
