Process of developing Country Cooperation Strategy in Tanzania, as an effective tool for aligning WHO's support to the member state in achieving health and health-related sustainable development goal.

an organization's long-term success and relevance are linked with compelling strategic development. To that end, the country office of WHO in the United Republic of Tanzania, in collaboration with stakeholders, developed a 6-year Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS), 2022-2027. This paper describes the various steps taken in developing the CCS for the United Republic of Tanzania. we reviewed the global guideline for the development of CCS. In addition, we analysed documents on the national health sector strategic plan, the 13th Global Program of Work for WHO (GPW13), and the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). We also reviewed data from routine HMIS, the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), and assessment results of the UN on the status of SDGs through the Common Country Assessment (CCA). the performance on the overall Universal Health Coverage (UHC) effective coverage index, on a scale of 0-100, for Tanzania improved from 45.2 in 2010 to 55.2 in 2019. Strengthening health systems, protecting communities against public health emergencies, reducing or controlling exposure of individuals to risk factors, and better health governance, leadership, and accountability were the identified priorities for the CCS. the process of alignment of the CCS document with the national and global strategic goals would help the WHO to support and lead the country's effort towards achieving health-related SDGs. We believe the process we employed will lead to having detailed operational plans for implementation for achieving SDG targets.

Archetypes of organizational success and failure

This paper presents inductive theoretical work inspired by the empirical study of the high-tech rivals General Electric and Westinghouse. Comparative historical analysis suggests that each firm's responses to five organizational challenges have affected their chances of enjoying long-term success. In addition, the theoretical work advances two polar ideal types of organizational success and failure: the self-perpetuating and the self-destructive archetypes, respectively. These should be seen as extreme states of the existence of firms since, in reality, firms operate in some intermediary state. A process-oriented perspective of theory building advances relations of necessity towards organizational long-term success, and integrates the responses to challenges into a requisites model for the development of a propensity for organizational self-perpetuation

Institutionalization and organizational long-term success

Institutionalization processes have an ambivalent effect on organizational long-term success. Even though they foster organizational stability and permanence, they also bring about rigidity and resistance to change. As a result, successful organizations are likely to lose their competitive advantage over time. The paper addresses this issue through the investigation of the institutionalization processes of two long-lived companies: General Electric, a firm that has been a long-term success and its rival, Westinghouse, which was broken up after eleven decades of existence. The longitudinal, multilevel analysis of firms and industry has identified two different modes of organizational institutionalization. The reactive mode gives rise to rigidity and change resistance, much like institutional theory predicts; the proactive mode, on the other hand, neutralizes those negative effects of institutionalization processes. In the reactive mode, structure predominates. In the proactive mode, agency plays a major role in organizational institutionalization, and in managing the organization's relations with the environment, clearly contributing to environmental institutionalization.
