STABILIZATION AND ECONOMIC STABILIZATION AND ECONOMIC RECONSTRUCTION RECONSTRUCTION

ResearchThe Institute for Defense and Business (IDB) conducts both applied and basic research to support its portfolio of educational programs and specific research projects. As an acknowledged leader at the vanguard of transformational business practices in both the DoD and private sector, IDB has been asked to conduct a variety of research projects involving clients ranging from the Directorate of Logistics, J4 of the Joint Staff to private sector firms providing humanitarian relief in conflict zones.

The research effort for LOGTECH is a dynamic program that is updated annually. In the first year of LOGTECH, a series of case studies were prepared examining a range of business management and organizational transformation issues. Research for years two and three of LOGTECH focused on five transformational themes indentified as critical by LOGTECH Subject Matter Experts Board members. These themes included Footprint Reduction Through Fuel Efficiency, Product Life Cycle Management for Design and Maintenance, Technology Deployment for Total Asset Visibility, Security in Logistics Communications and Outsourcing Logistics.

These complimentary research efforts guided curriculum development for the executive education programs and other LOGTECH programmatic activities. Ongoing research and case study development remain critical in shaping the content of LOGTECH offerings as well as that of IDB’s other programs.
