UNC business school staff will work with the MARCORSYSCOM team to interpret, analyze and leverage publicly available defense industry information. The instructors are able to assist the Government negotiating team to analyze defense contractor behaviors, understand their business and financial motivations, and leverage these results to balance profit and fee negotiation positions with long-term program costs. Additionally there is post program development of industry modeling that will aid in the analysis of potential business decisions and the impact on program options/outcomes. This training will provide the Government team knowledge, skills, and background to establish and refine negotiation strategies for their contracting efforts.

With years of experience working closely with Navy and Marine Corps acquisition programs and senior officials, the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School is uniquely positioned to execute this task. Based on their past performance, the instructors and staff will provide exceptional insight into Department of the Navy Government-Industry business relationships that cannot be replicated at this time. The result of this effort is that the MARCORSYSCOM team is aligned, prepared, and ready to execute a complex procurements with the goal of lowering acquisition costs and realizing significant savings over the life of the procurement. This requirement is a byproduct of the ASN (RDA) sponsored Executive Development Program, ""Understanding the Government-Industry Relationship in Acquisition"" provided by the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School to Government employees. During these executive development sessions, the various defense prime contractors were used as examples on numerous occasions. As such, the business school is able to provide an in-depth understanding of the program objectives, which will allow the business school to complete this requirement.
