DoD Technology Management in a Global Technology Environment

摘要

This study, supported as a Independent Research Project by the Institute for Defense Analyses, provides a perspective on how changes in the economic and technological arena often referred to under - the rubric 'globalization' - bear upon the Department of Defense's approach to conducting and managing its research and development. This study discusses: lessons learned from past DoD S AND T management efforts and initiatives, especially those within the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), and how industry has coped with globalized competitive threats and the explosion of new technologies, with a focus on the roles and functions of Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) in various commercial contexts.
