Relative Importance of Selected Subject Areas for Acquisition Project Officer Training
Abstract
The objective of this research was to determine a relative ranking (in terms of need for job accomplishment) of acquisition training course subject areas for use in updating and improving training course. The analysis was accomplished by examining the attitudes of personnel taking the training course typically received by junior acquisition personnel. Specifically, the attitudes towards whether or not particular subject areas are needed for an individuals job accomplishment were solicited. Key findings are that the subject areas most needed for job accomplishment are Group Decision Making, Contracting, and Communications Skills. Specific recommendations to implement these results in junior acquisition officer training courses are made, as are recommendations for further research in this area. Results are based on a small sample and it is recommended that further research be accomplished to further validate the results. Specific recommendations for further research are included in the document. Keywords: Training management; Military procurement; Theses.
