Abstract
The Communications Services Industrial Fund (CSIF) is an
integral tool available to the Defense Communications Agency
in directing and controlling the operations of the Defense
Communications System. This thesis is an analysis of how
effective the current structure of the fund has been in
allowing the Defense Communications Agency to meet its
objectives. A detailed description of the history, purpose
and procedures of the fund is provided in the first three
chapters. Subsequent chapters examine the fund in the
context of management and efficiency difficulties arising
from present practices. Alternatives to the current structure
are outlined and analyzed.
The basic conclusion reached as a result of the study is
that there are areas of the fund requiring change if the
CSIF is to accomplish its purpose. The incentives derived
from existing methodology undermine the benefits which were
envisioned when industrial funding was extended to
communications.
