ZEE BUSINESS BEST B SCHOOL SURVEY
Defence = Offensive economics!
The indiscernible thread that binds the F-16s of Lockheed Martin and George Bush is that both are from Texas. At the Fort Worth factory of Lockheed Martin, the jobs of nearly 5,000 workers depend heavily on whether Lockheed gets new orders for F-16s from outside the US, given that the US armed forces have stopped procuring fresh F-16s. Thus, Lockheed depends critically on the sales of aircraft to other countries like Pakistan; and India too. So, for George Bush, it was simple socialism at best, which made him take the decision to sell F-16s to Pakistan. Yet, even then, he could not save the jobs of nearly 2000 workers.
Cut to the present and to Obama’s predicament. If the Indian Air Force order for procuring 126 MMRCA (Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft) doesn’t come to Lockheed Martin – for which they have even developed a new version named F-16 IN, better than the ones used by the US Air Force and Navy – then most of the employees at Fort Worth would see the end of their professional journey. Barack has published his formal statement that he would “develop a strategy for determining when contracting makes sense, rather than continually handing off governmental jobs to well-connected companies.” Would Obama disregard his glorious value statement and, like his predecessor, step in to see that IAF bends to Lockheed’s universe?
