An Economic Analysis of Naval Integrated vs Conventional Personnel Systems.

Abstract : Given the Navy's basic training/readiness objectives and the resources at its disposal, this research examines time streams' costs and benefits. Utilizing cost-benefit analysis techniques this research investigates potential tradeoffs available to Navy policymakers as a result of human capital training investment within conventional and integrated personnel systems. Findings suggest that an integrated personnel system enhances technical skill development, personnel retention and job performance at decreased cost relative to a conventional personnel system.
