WORKSHEET 17: Assessing the Impact of the Proposed Strategy

(A) Briefly describe the impact of the strategy you developed in Worksheet # 16. For each player list the original issue position, power and priority scores. List the new scores produced by your strategy. If the scores remain the same write an "S." Provide a reason for the changes:

PLAYER	ORIGINAL SCORE	NEW SCORE	REASONS
Dr. Neil Cohen	Position +4 Power 4 Priority 3	S S S	The compromise does not change his position. He still favors increasing asthma education.
Herbert Berman	Position -4 Power 5 Priority 1	S S S	The compromise does change his opposition. He has other priorities.
Victor Robles	Position -3 Power 5 Priority 2	+1 S S	The compromise does change his position since there will be some oversight from the Advisory Board on if the program is effective so he is going to support it.
Joel Klein	Position +2 Power 4 Priority 0	S S 2	His priority increases to 2 since he will be a member of the Advisory Board.
Lucille Swarns	Position +3 Power 2 Priority 1	S S 2	Her priority increases since she will likely be a member of the Advisory Board and support running it as a pilot program first.

(B) Draw arrows on the Prince Political Map completed in Worksheet #15. Complete the Prince Chart below showing the changes resulting from your strategy. Calculate the new probability.

PLAYERS	ISSUE POSITION -5 to +5	X	POWER 1 to 5	X	PRIORITY 1 to 5	=	PLAYER'S PRINCE SCORE
Dr. Neil Cohen	+4	X	4	X	3	=	+48
Herbert Berman	-4	X	5	X	1	=	-20
Victor Robles	+1	X	5	X	2	=	+10
Joel Klein	+2	X	4	X	2	=	+16
Lucille Swarns	+3	X	2	X	2	=	+12

CALCULATION OF THE PROBABILITY:

Calculation 2: Sum of all of the positive scores plus 1/2 neutral scores = 86

Calculation 3: Sum of all scores ignoring signs and parentheses = 106

Calculation 4: Probability of support = Calculation 2 divided by Calculation 3

= 86/106 = .81 x 100 = 81%
