Avoiding Communications Breakdowns between Military Managers and Civilian Professionals

Abstract

Basically the personal value systems (frames of reference) of US Army officers and civilian professionals are examined. The barriers and gateways to communication between these two groups working in a military research and development (R and D) environment are discussed. The goal is improved communications for military managers with civilian professionals through improved insights into the frame of reference of those two groups. Military managers will communicate much more effectively if they appreciate the differing frames of reference present in organizations.
