As more government duties are contracted out, managers must learn to coordinate and measure the performance of private contractors, and to write contract requirements and elicit bids that obtain important services and products at the best possible price and quality. They must also learn to work in teams that include both public and private sector partners.The Responsible Contract Manager delves into the issues of how to ensure that the work done by private sector contractors serves the public interest and argues forPublic management and change.Public contractsUnited StatesManagementContracting outUnited StatesPublic contractsManagement.Contracting out352.5/3Cohen Steven1953-1811983Eimicke William B1807839MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953319003321The responsible contract manager4364194UNINA03802nam 22006615 450 991097343430332120210113125945.0978150174518815017451829781501745171150174517410.7591/9781501745171(CKB)4100000010012842(OCoLC)1099540174(MdBmJHUP)muse78628(StDuBDS)EDZ0002252472(DE-B1597)527062(OCoLC)1143798441(DE-B1597)9781501745171(MiAaPQ)EBC5964911(Perlego)950753(EXLCZ)99410000001001284220200526h20202020 fg engur|||||||nn|ntxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSuper Bomb Organizational Conflict and the Development of the Hydrogen Bomb /Ken Young, Warner R.

Rewriting Los Alamos -- Conclusions -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index Super Bomb unveils the story of the events leading up to President Harry S. Truman's 1950 decision to develop a "super," or hydrogen, bomb. That fateful decision and its immediate consequences are detailed in a diverse and complete account built on newly released archives and previously hidden contemporaneous interviews with more than sixty political, military, and scientific figures who were involved in the decision. Ken Young and Warner R. Schilling present the expectations, hopes, and fears of the key individuals who lobbied for and against developing the H-bomb. They portray the conflicts that arose over the H-bomb as rooted in the distinct interests of the Atomic Energy Commission, the Los Alamos laboratory, the Pentagon and State Department, the Congress, and the White House. But as they clearly show, once Truman made his decision in 1950, resistance to the H-bomb opportunistically shifted to new debates about the development of tactical nuclear weapons, continental air defense, and other aspects of nuclear weapons policy. What Super-Bomb reveals is that in many ways the H-bomb struggle was a proxy battle over the morality and effectiveness of strategic bombardment and the role and doctrine of the US Strategic Air Command.Cornell studies in security affairs.Cornell scholarship online.Hydrogen bombUnited StatesHistoryHydrogen bombGovernment policyUnited StatesHistoryArms raceHistory20th centuryUnited StatesMilitary policyUnited StatesPolitics and government1945-1953Hydrogen bombHistory.Hydrogen bombGovernment policyHistory.Arms raceHistory355.8/251190973Young Ken, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut130508Schilling Warner R., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910973434303321Super Bomb4368045UNINA
