Abstract:

This thesis represents an attempt to characterize the budgetary process in the Venezuelan DoD. Its legal basis are analyzed and its structural aspects are investigated. The PPBS in the U.S.A. DoD and the structural aspects associated with it are examined. The concept of Organizational Development is introduced and its association with PPB reviewed. A simple linear model similar to those employed by Davis, Dempster, and Wildavsky for the non-defense appropriation process are used in analyzing Congressional responses to Department of Defense budget requests. Defense budgetary data for the Fiscal 1962-1976 time frame are empirically tested via linear regression analysis. Results are tabulated and discussed. Significant findings are summarized and recommendations for further studies in the area suggested. Author
