Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed and critical examination of the procurement process for research and development contracts within the US government. It draws from the author's three-year study of the process within various military organizations. The book begins by analyzing the characteristics of companies that win R&D contracts, including key determinants in the award process, such as prior experience, unsolicited proposals, and personal relationships with government initiators. It also explores the benefits of the formal proposal process, such as obtaining new ideas, cost savings, objectivity, and democratic access. However, the book argues that the supposed benefits are largely questionable and that the process comes with its own set of costs, such as proposal preparation expenses, misallocation of technical skills, time delays, and lowered ethical standards. In conclusion, this book offers valuable insights into the inefficiencies and potential downfalls of the R&D procurement system, and proposes alternative approaches that prioritize effective information-gathering and open communication to improve the overall process. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
