Abstract
Managers and potential managers in the acquisition field
should find this thesis to be a useful tool. It initiates
development of a single reference that will provide a
synopsis of current, important topics relevant to federal
acquisition. Individual topics are divided into the
following categories: contracting and general acquisition;
legal; finance, economics and accounting; production; and
logistics management. A broad introduction/definition is
given in the initial "discussion" section of each topic for
a quick review. Individual topics are generally confined to
three to four pages to provide an overview of the topic and
mention related concepts. The depth of coverage in each
topic should be sufficient for a working knowledge of the
concept in relation to negotiation, cost analysis or other
aspects of the acquisition field. A list of "references for
further study" is supplied at the end of each topic as an
initial step toward a more in-depth study of the subject
matter or for application of the concept to the area of
concern.
