Performance Based Management System for the United States Navy

摘要

This thesis discusses performance based management, a system that manages and compensates on the basis of both leadership and technical performance. Present military manpower systems attempt to combine these two dimensions into one-dimensional system, but this approach has been met with increased dissatisfaction by lawmakers. The U.S. Army has originated a concept paper describing performance based management issues, and has also developed a computer model that reflects changes in costs and force structure when a performance based system is compared with the current system. The author discusses the concept of performance based management, the computer model, significant issues, and the possible implementation of a performance based management system for the United States Navy.
