Description: The Twenty-Third Annual Department of Defense Cost Analysis Symposium was held in      Leesburg, Virginia, on 6-8 September 1989. A number of the papers presented at that      symposium, as well as a roundtable discussion held at the symposium, were analyses of      the costs associated with alternative competition strategies in weapon system acquisition.      The papers and the transcript of the roundtable discussion included in this compendium      were selected from those presented at the symposium which addressed the general area      of weapon system competition. The papers and discussion fall into three board areas      addressing the costs and benefits of competition: methodological analyses, empirical      analyses, and analyses of policy and implementation. they represent those efforts which      best reflect state-of-the-art research into the issues surrounding the costs associated with      alternative strategies for weapon system competition. Keywords: Acquisition, Department      of Defense, Weapon systems, Cost analysis, Theses, Logistics management. (RWJ)
