Abstract
This paper describes the long term and short term planning processes of the
nine major military airframe builders in the United States. The first part
of the paper characterizes the nine firms and explores the risks and rewards
inherent in their dependence on their major customer, the United States
Government. The remainder of the paper provides a description of the internal
planning processes that is based on personal interviews of the planning
executives of the nine firms. The environmental forecast, which precedes
the formulation of the long term and short term plans, and the corporate review process, in which actual performance is measured against the
short term plan, are also discussed.
