This thesis investigates the relationship between
Department of Defense oriented corporations and commercially
oriented corporations, along with the government and
commercially oriented business segments of these same
corporations. The data elements of backlog, net sales,
operating profits, and identifiable assets are examined, and
the methodology for deriving these data elements from the SEC
10K reports in their total and segmented forms is explained.
The analyses of variance on the unsegmented data elements
determined no difference between corporation groups, however
analyses of segmented data elements resulted in significant
variations. Segmented data appears to be necessary to
explain the variations due to either type of corporation or
time period.
