When Dr Eric Berney wrote about his book on Games People Play he gave examples from industrial & social scenario. He never thought how the development professionals will use this subject.
In development sector the public servant are interested in expenditure rather than impact. Imagine the funds being made available for expenditure are just for 3 months to get the job done planned for full financial year. The funds for development for the period of April to March reach by September at the state exchequer. The state takes its own time in virtally selling the budget to district level. It reaches in many a cases by January or Deember end. In the month of February the moatorium on expenditure is clamped. Thus money for the year is to be spent in 2-3 months. Who can do magic. It is the public servant who is capable of this magic. Had Dr Eric Berne ever thought of this Game which Indian Development Sector is playing.
Comments awaited.
