It was prepared by the faculty of the International Defense Acquisition Resource Management (IDARM) program, a division of the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School's School of International Graduate Studies. It is the initiative of Dr. Elisabeth Wright, the IDARM Program Manager. The name for the IDARM program was not chosen without careful thought. The program is intended for an international audience, and therefore focuses on the practices of the U.S. system only where it employs or embodies a \"best practice\" that can have universal application. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcquisition resource management describes the program's integrated approach to defense program management, defense contracting, and defense logistics management. The chapters in this book encompass the core components of the IDARM Program curriculum: acquisition management, which includes systems engineering and, within it, requirements determination and logistical planning; the negotiation of contracts and agreements, as well as the settlement of disputes; and procurement and contracting processes. It also includes two chapters on specialized subjects in defense acquisition: research and development, and U.S. weapons sales to foreign governments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elisabeth Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1450226124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781450226127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Elisabeth Wright","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48442258489599,"sku":"9781450226127","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea03941b-5a1d-408e-8ac3-984c0f39d27f.jpg?v=1777196178","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/defense-acquisition-management-elisabeth-wright-9781450226127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
