Current Issues in Military Program Control,
Abstract
There is currently a national furor over the way the U.S. manages its large military programs. Some of it reflects a genuine disagreement over how these programs should be controlled. The paper presents a number of the issues involved in this disagreement and develops the thesis that the U.S. is polarizing into two diverging camps on their resolution: one focused on resources and the other on products. It then concludes that because there is much merit to the argument presented on both sides of many of these issues, the direction which must be taken in the program control field is not to attempt to resolve the individual issues directly. Rather, it is to deal with root causes which can accommodate both points of view. It then offers a sample of three suggestions in this regard. (Author)
