Abstract
The purpose o£ this paper is to study the criteria used in establishing
designated project management in the United States Navy, then to
compare that criteria to organizational theory and industrial practice.
It is hoped that this discussion will improve insight into this form of
organization, currently being utilized to a greater and greater extent,
and that more meaningful and useful criteria for the establishment of
project management can be recommended. This paper will attempt to clarify and identify project management
and its objectives, present a brief history of this type of organization,
examine the requirements which originally led to selecting designated
projects, and discuss the planning and dec is ion-making process that precedes
the establishment of such a project. It will also discuss the costs and
the benefits of project management and demonstrate why sound criteria for
establishing designated projects are needed. The specific research question addressed is, what criteria should
be utilized in the selection of weapon or support systems to be designated
for project management.
