Industrial Relevance
Civic Education research may strengthen the ties between national and international security systems, the people, and defense industries. Innovation work offers insights especially in Human Resources Development and Strategic Planning. Findings regarding "Revolutions in Military Affairs" may have parallel implications for the Revolution in Business Affairs.
