Abstract
This case study documents the difficulty of initiating civilian technology programs in government. Earlier work has focused on the political actions of supporting and opposing constituencies. This paper deals with institutional factors in the process of resource allocation, which are designed to create obstacles to the initiation of new programs. The paper also outlines managerial tactics available to government executives, which may mitigate the obstacles when coupled with responsible analysis of public needs and values. It concludes that civilian technology programs are difficult but feasible undertakings and that, despite their scanty record of success, they can be deserving of public resources and support.
