Abstract

The goal of this thesis was to determine recommended topics to be taught in the Air Force Institute of Technology Professional Continuing Education course CON 331-Executive Cost and Price Analysis. This determination of course content was necessary due to the changes required by the implementation of Department of Defense Directive 5000.52-M, Career Development Program for Acquisition Personnel. The determination was accomplished by developing a list of suggested topics and surveying a panel of six Government pricing executives, managers, and experts via the Delphi method. Kendall's Coefficient of Concordance test was utilized to determine the significance of agreement between the experts. Using this methodology, a consensus was reached on a prioritized list of 25 topics. In addition, recommendations for specific areas of study relating to a topic were received for 14 topics. The consensus list of prioritized topics and the recommended subtopics constitute our determination of content for CON 331-Executive Cost and Price Analysis.
