An Analysis of International Collaboration in the Organization and Management of Weapons Coproduction.
Abstract
This is an examination of the objectives, policies, organizational approaches and operational effectiveness of certain international consortia created to pursue cooperative weapons development and production programs. The specific purpose was to identify and analyze recent efforts that have enabled a group of sovereign nations and their industries to reach an unprecedented degree of peacetime collaboration and organization in a specific issue-function of international military logistics, the coproduction of weapons. The nations involved were members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The industries were manufacturing firms within those nations. The purpose was to reveal the extent and nature of new, joint manufacturing programs now a matter of record and to identify some of the perspectives that are believed to be of potential value to the knowledge of international organizations and their management.
