Acquisition Research: The Foundation for Innovation

Abstract

The NPS Acquisition Research Program's purposeful pursuit of big A Acquisition research is evident in these Proceedings. Disciplines and fields of study which are represented include contract management, project management, logistics and supply chain management, systems engineering, economics, public management and policy, financial management, information systems, and organizational behavior. While research in a few other disciplines (e.g., personnel management) has yet to be tapped, the engagement of such a wide range of approaches represents, in our view, significant progress.
