Hello Jim. Have this friend look for Clancy Mann's book, Borderless Business: Managing the Far-Flung Enterprise (Mann & Goetz, Westport, Conn., Praeger Publishing, 2006) chapter 7 in which he lays out the Social Process Triangle as a basis for Managing Country Risk. Clancy's chapter in Bending History II is also a good "promotion of its use." I currently teach a graduate business course through University of Maryland University College in which the SPT is presented and used as a basic method for analyzing a country. You could say that I use it at least weekly, and have for the past 10 years. Roughly 350 students have taken the course and they generally love it as a comprehensive tool for analyzing a country's business environment. It's far better than Porter's Diamond, which is the standard business method for the purpose. John At 08:10 PM 11/3/2012, James Wiegel wrote:

I got this question from a fellow I know who is intrigued with the Social Process triangles. Any responses??

He said: I think there are very few people who currently care about the Social Process Triangle as a tool to be used for social transformation. Can you point me to someone is promotes it's use, trains others on at least an biannual basis using it, or has tried to implement it in a recognizable or tangible manner other than the Jenkins? Short mentions in books on other topics is, for my purposes, great, but is there anyone you know using it daily, weekly, or monthly to train or manage something or anything?
