Description: "Mark Mandeles argues that the key to future combat effectiveness is not in acquiring new technologies but rather in the Defense Department's institutional and organizational structure and its effect upon incentives to invent, to innovate, and to conduct operations effectively. Doing so requires that the military establishment resist incentives to substitute short-term technological gains for long-term operational advantages and to maintain incentives for effective long-term innovation."--Jacket.
