Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the effects of incentive contracts in research and development, providing valuable insights for government agencies and contractors alike. The author, a renowned expert in the field, examines five case studies of contracts that were converted from a cost reimbursement basis to an incentive-based structure. The analysis reveals that contractors often avoid risk by delaying negotiations or refusing agreements that could lead to cost-sharing. Moreover, the prospect of financial losses can motivate contractors to engage in harmful practices such as excessive cost-cutting and threats to halt work. The book also highlights the increased attention paid to contract changes under incentive arrangements, leading to both benefits and challenges in managing project scope. Ultimately, this book raises important questions about the effectiveness of incentive contracting in research and development and offers valuable lessons for practitioners in this field. 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. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of defense and space marketing, particularly the role of research and development (R&D) contracts in shaping companies' strategies and performance. The author investigates 18 new business R&D contracts to analyze the impact of anticipated follow-on opportunities on contract execution and subsequent contract acquisition. The book reveals a correlation between contract performance and expectations of follow-on work, with companies anticipating substantial follow-ons often submitting proposals with overstated performance goals and unrealistic cost and schedule estimates. These optimistic promises frequently resulted in project challenges, ultimately leading to a decline in follow-on potential. Despite these challenges, the book highlights the importance of R&D contracts in providing companies with opportunities to establish technical expertise and market positions within growing technological fields. The author emphasizes the need for a balanced approach, where companies weigh the potential benefits of large follow-ons against the risks of performance issues and the loss of follow-on opportunities due to unrealistic expectations. 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. print-on-demand item.…
