Abstract

As Defense procurement policies and regulations become ever more complex, strategic decisionmaking by senior defense officials has become more complicated. This paper briefly describes the decline of defense industry strength, identifies the principle causes, and proposes a more analytic and business-like approach to be used by defense officials in reviewing defense industry health. The paper concludes with a proposed strategic audit format to accomplish this review.
