ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on several topics that do not belong to cost and optimization in the conventional sense of the term. It focuses on several factors that one would find useful during an implementation process: they are partly economic, partly empirical, and partly legal. The chapter also focuses on the role factors such as contingency provision, open communication, and ethical conduct in implementation. In a shared cost contract, on the other hand, the risk is shared by both parties: the bidder and the government. The primary purpose of government is to serve the needs of the public. A government communicates with public formally, as well as informally. Communication must also be internal, within the organization. Organizations are not static or monolithic entities, as they were once perceived. The chapter concludes the several management issues that are integral to the decision process in an organization insofar as implementation. They are multidimensional in nature, ranging from simple economic rationale, to contingency provisions.
