The Army as Cadre Factory? From Officer to Manager: Career Perspectives of Army University Graduates in Economics and Administration

Abstract

Twelve articles, followed by extensive appendices and bibliographical information, comprise this look into the career paths of military university graduates in the fields of economics and administration, the last seven articles dealing directly with empirical results culled from the class of 2001. The "background" topics include: the increasing relevance of the inquiry; a comparison of military graduates to part-time officers with degrees from civilian universities; and the analysis of the careers of past military officers. The 2001 data, presented in a meticulous 60-page appendix, are structured through the subsequent headings: overview and differentiation of career paths; the influence of military service on a civilian career; the influence of education and transitional measures; and on the necessity of an additional requirement for the development of personnel in the course of officer study.
