Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Second Printing. 191 Pages Indexed. Light crease to front bottom corner. No other defects noted. The B-52 and Jet Propulsion: A Case Study in Organizational Innovation is a coherent and nonpolemical discussion of the revolution in military affairs, a hot topic in the national security arena. Mark Mandeles examines an interesting topic, how can the military better understand, manage, and evaluate technological development programs. We see Murphy's Law (anything that can go wrong, will go wrong) in operation. No matter how carefully the military designs, plans, and programs the process of technological development, inevitably, equipment, organizations, and people will challenge the desired expectations. Mandeles argues convincingly that recognizing the inevitability of error may be the single most important factor in the design of effective organizations and procedures to foster and enhance innovative technology and concepts. Contents: Introduction, Innovation and Military Revolutions, Logic and Procedure of Analysis, Prelude Jet Propulsion and The Air Force, The Introduction of Jet Propulsion Into /The B-52, and Conclusion. Illustrated with photographs of Whittle Engine, B-36A Peacemaker, Lockheed XP80A Shooting Star, J47 Engine in XB-47, Fat Man, Douglas A3D Skywarrior, Boeing B-50 Superfortress, and Northrop's YB-49.
