Organizing To Exploit The Information Domain by Todd S Schug, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The US Department of Defense (DoD) has embarked on an ambitious plan to transform itself. A driving force behind this transformation is a realization that society has moved into an "information age" and that information age warfare will be significantly different from anything that has gone before it. At the heart of the transformation effort is a concept known as Network Centric Warfare (NCW). Transformation, information age warfare, and NCW all depend heavily on how the DoD handles the information domain. Although there are many organization structure/design issues that will derive from the transformation imperatives, one of central concerns is the need to alter the Information Technology (IT) functions/organizations that are the vanguard of this effort. Given this background, this research attempted to answer the question "What does the military transformation literature say about how the DoD should organize to exploit the information domain?" Specifically, this research focused on ideas regarding organizing the IT organizations/functions of the DoD. | Organizing To Exploit The Information Domain by Todd S Schug, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
