Abstract:

The report is concerned with Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet, generally held to be one of the most efficient aircraft development and production firms in the western world. Its purpose is to examine and evaluate the policies, strategies, operating practices, and external relationships that appear to be responsible for that reputation and for the achievements that underlie it. A principal object of the study is to identify those Dassault attributes that might beneficially be adapted to an American setting and to estimate the feasibility of so doing.
