What is Development?
A process by which the members of society increase their capacities to mobilize and manage resources to produce sustainable and justly distributed improvements in their quality of life consistent with their own aspirations.

Development Management Perspective
Development management requires a wholistic approach that would bring the three development wheels in an integrated intervention strategy
Development management utilizes strategic management as a tool
Development management promotes good governance (participation, transparency, accountability, rule of law, sustainability)
The development managers serve many and oftentimes conflicting objectives which cannot be easily resolved by simplifying development equations
Principles of Development Management
Environmental productivity must be accompanied by an improvement in the quality of that environment. Environment must not depleted for the sake of productivity
Economic prosperity must not sacrifice social and economic equity
Socio-political maturity must be achieved without breaking down society into fragmented units

Environmental Development Process b. agency and industry/sector interface – for the mobilization or building up of industrial/sectoral capabilities and the promulgation of industrial/ sectoral incentives and regulation through local administrative mechanism c. area and industry/sector interface- tapping of area resources, translating the resources to industry investment and creation of backward (supply) and forward (market) linkages through enterprises and institutions

Economic Development Process
Conversion of resources into investments, investments into goods and services, goods and services into income and income back into resources or benefits distributed to intended beneficiaries a. multiplication process – conversion of resources into investments with high multiplicative potentials through i) harnessing untapped resource; ii) leveraging scarce resources; iii) focusing on critical inputs of production, marketing and finance b. subtraction process - deduction in potential income through payment of commission to brokers and middlemen, profit margin foregone to viajeros who collect good ex-farm
Economic Development Process c.
Addition process – as productions are sold, revenues are generated for plowing back of extra profits to resource base of production and distribution to beneficiaries
d. Division process - the distribution of benefits is through the sharing of the profits or value added.
Outcome – Prosperity and equity

Approaches in Development Management
Rational or Analytical Approach – logical using the “science of correct reasoning” which stresses that induction or deduction must emanate from sequential and linear thought process. Focuses on charting trends, recognition of patterns and mapping out of possible scenarios with the hope of forecasting the outcomes as events unfold Adaptive Approach – not a formal procedure, does not decipher trends and scan the environment, does not sift the strengths and weaknesses and does not use sophisticated tools of analysis. Agency adapts to the dynamism of the situation at hand
Approaches in Development Management
Ideological Approach – agency exist because of theories, missions, doctrines and beliefs that they espouse. The strategies are aimed at “spreading the good news”. The how’s of attaining the state of life are prescribed in non-equivocal rules and dogmas.
Creative Approach – seeks for better ways of doing things since it is never contended with the status quo. Has entrepreneurial spirit to venture into the unknown, takes a less traveled route, not necessarily the riskier but definitely the most unfamiliar terrain.
