Summary
Chapter 5 considers strategy as the art of planning. The term is widely used in government, business, and society to describe an organization’s overall goals, the ways the goals could be achieved, and the resources necessary for success. There are important differences around the world regarding how policymakers view their roles in cyberspace. In market-oriented democracies, government roles are largely limited, and corporations dominate. Software is produced free of government regulation, telecommunication companies operate within a government’s technical guidelines but are profit-driven, and the market for hardware and their information and communications technology supply chains are largely open and global. In authoritarian countries, cyberspace is not free and is highly regulated for the benefit of the government rather than society or corporations or individual users. The chapter considers how strategic principles are applied by different governments and cyberspace and offers a case study of organizing the military for cyberspace.
