Public-Public Partnerships : Development of an Alternative Outsourcing Method Decision Model

The purpose of this research was to explore the phenomenon of public- public outsourcing partnerships as it may be employed by the DoD from a Federal Government perspective. Current outsourcing methods, guidance, and models are discussed as well as outsourcing related theories. Based upon the literature reviewed, a conceptual public-public outsourcing decision model is presented. A case study of the Brooks AFB initiative is then used to analyze the conceptual model. As a result of our analysis, an analytical public-public outsourcing decision model is developed. The analytical model also depicts the overall process path along which a decision-maker will travel. The end result is that decision-makers are now armed with an innovative decision-making tool that expands the envelope of opportunities to reduce base operations, support, and infrastructure costs.Air Force Inst of Tech Wright-Patterson AFB OH is the author of 'Public-Public Partnerships : Development of an Alternative Outsourcing Method Decision Model', published 1999 under ISBN 9781423542513 and ISBN 1423542517.
