Redesigning the United States Defense Acquisition System. Doctoral dissertation for Ph.d at City University, London, 1995.

Summary: Pending

This is Henry's doctoral dissertation, completed for his degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Department of System Science, City University, London, England. It contains discussion of the Interactive Management processes introduced over a seven year period in the U.S. Department of Defense(Acquisition) which resulted in the U.S. Congress "Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994" We had believed that we sent this volume to GMU in the 2000 donation of John's papers, but it was missing from the Special Collection finding aid list, when we searched for it later. We had imagined that it just slipped through the cracks somewhere at the Special Collection offices, because it is a hard cover book, not a paper manuscript, and might have been cataloged elsewhere. But Lo and Behold, in Spring of 2003 we actually found it! It had been here at home in John's study all the time, so now in April 2003 we are bundling it up as a late shipment to go to the care of Mr. Koda's Special Collections department at George Mason Universtiy. We are especially pleased to find Henry's dissertation, since this particular document is of key significance to Warfield's work, in that it gives information on Interactive Management Workshops which eventually influenced the passage of an act of U.S. Congress to update and streamline the DoD acquisition system. It is located in George Mason University Library, George Mason University Location: Fenwick Special Collections Call Number: UC263 .A43 1995 Apparently it has been shelved as a book, although my view of the Finding Aid gives it location as Box 79 Folder 1 ==========================
