Abstract :
On the day that Raytheon bought Hughes Electronics, A.N. Chester described how aerospace executives evaluate options for research programs. Their objective is to develop products that have value after the planned work is completed. Big changes are taking place in the environment in which a new commercial product must succeed. By “environment” means the official and unofficial rules created by social pressures, government decisions, industrial activity, and financial activity
