Introduction
Public Policy Strategies (PPS) refer to an agency that promotes public affairs and communication services. Its head quarters are in San Diego. It focuses on crisis management, campaigning of public policies, as well as the government affairs.
The agency has tailored its strategic solutions in order to suit their clients (Dye, 2010). Currently, they have established an enabling communication that has facilitated the flow of information throughout the public. Additionally, it has enabled the public to gain competition power thus the production of tangible results.
PPS decision making
Initially, PPS has applied science in their strategy decision formulation. it has therefore, used scientific facts to modify its arguments and validate them. They have utilized this as a means of conning the public (Gerston, 2010). However, research has revealed that, scientists do not comply with these arguments. Astoundingly in the PPS, there is extremely insignificant consensus with the basic scientific facts.
Currently, science has acted a noteworthy position in the formulation of PPS governmental policy, as well as strategies. Presently, the politicization of science is necessary in order to resolute on policy clashes through technological proficiency rather than politics (Rowe, et al., 2008).
Since these efforts are entrenched in divergences on fundamental values, they are futile because the divergences result from neither science nor independent analysis.
Challenges and measures
Currently, the PPS is facing the problem of determining the most responsible people for making decision. They also face the challenge of identifying some of the problems that they face, as well as the agenda setting. Science plays many roles in the PPS. These roles when adopted imply the nature of science alongside the autonomous policymaking.
For instance, scientists explore personal interests and reveal scientific facts despite their impacts on strategies. Secondly, science entails, in practical activities, which provides to policymakers’ questions (Dye, 2010). Consequently, scientists influence policy strategies though accurate judgment in science.
For effective and functional public policies, there is need for a practical, as well as a working model that would emphasize deliberative autonomous process. Consequently, these processes enable handling of ethical and social issues facilitated by biotechnological trends.
Role of science in PPS
Myriad measurers are essential in addressing the challenges experienced in the PPS. For instance, there is need of public consultation. Scientifics conduct interviews and surveys on the communities, as well as public as general. The recommendations of the research enables realization of astound decisions thus influencing positively on the PPS.
Consequently, the public voice would be linked with the resolution making method (Gerston, 2010). Secondly, scientific research has shown that, there is need for gene forum fact-value separation method. The public produces values of virtual importance, experts generate facts of comparative likelihood, and decision makers produce alternatives for relative significance.
Thirdly, there is need of development of policies that forms their foundation on science. Consequently, the PPS would experience technocratic vision. In addition, policies should entail a superior reasoning. A two-level model ought to be applied during the policy formulation.
Technocratic visions do not make decisions but it rather it informs along with advising the policy makers. For instance, there is the context of inducing practical decisions in the formulation of policy regulation. Lastly, mandated science significantly influences effectively on public policies (Rowe, et al., 2008).
Conclusion
Scientific research has revealed that, proper involvement of science in PPS is a controversial issue. Science should therefore, only give supportive to challenging ethical, as well as political views. The role of decision making ordinarily remains the responsibility of the government authorities.
Concisely, scientific involvement as well a scientific expertise influences profoundly on the development of PPS. Therefore, the government should emphasize and create an enabling atmosphere for better scientific input in PPS. Consequently, appropriate policies would characterize the PPS.
