A Framework for Strategic Management

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to my Pentagon colleagues in the acquisition community who are working tirelessly at restructuring the Air Force to meet the realities of a new world order and rapidly declining budgets. While I enjoyed academic life, they were knocked about by events they didn't fully understand. Often they were backed into corners with few options and no time to think. As I moved from course to course, they moved from one budget crisis to another struggling to put out financial fires. Well, my studies lead me to believe there's a way we can make Pentagon duty more pleasant--and help keep our Air Force the world's best. It is called strategic management and is the subject of this paper.
