Abstract

The purpose of this report was to isolate specific nontangible factors impacting on the determination of the effective program manager. The method of inquiry was library research. The DSMS academic environment provided a composite exposure to the philosophies of program management maintained by the three services. A pattern of slight disparity in preparatory and training backgrounds was displayed. Selection for command was not precluded by membership in the project manager field. Nine specific areas were designated through research as sustaining factors in the definition of the effective program manager. The influence of the nine variables upon the productivity and effectiveness of the program manager is presented in the context of interface with the position. (Author)
