Abstract
In response to recent significant improvements in soviet Submarine Technologies the Navy developed the Weapon System Improvement Program for the S- 3A Viking. This program is an example of the dynamic nature of the environment within which the program manager operates. It provides the program manager with little control over certain events and the effects they have on their programs. An effective program manager will realize these limitations exist and attempt to strategically and flexibly manage the resources available to him as effectively and efficiently as hisher political environment will allow. However, this sometime happens at the expense of contractor inefficiencies and at a higher cost to the Government. In the DODDON world of scarce resources a thorough analysis of the competitive environment may provide useful insight into the S-3 Program Office and their efforts to complete the S-3 WSIP.
