Research On Cost-Control Of Chinese Weapon Systems Acquisition

Weapon systems acquisition refers to the military managers'activities of developing and procuring weapon systems, which concerns the activities of development testing, the production deployment, and the using safeguard and retired handling. Weapon systems acquisition cost is currency weight of all consumed resources in the weapon systems acquisition process.The manage system of Chinese weapon systems acquisition is not reasonable and not perfect, the mechanism of supervision and restraining is not perfect too, and the information is asymmetrical, that will induce the seeking-rent behaviors and corrupt behaviors which is unfavorable to the military, so it will greatly increase nonproductive transaction cost in the acquisition process; The defense industry system is not perfect, the market of weapon systems acquisition is devoid of the competition drive, so the defense industry enterprise easily seeks the non-competition income in the acquisition gambling process, that is short of the impetus in reducing cost, so the military managers are passive in the cost control process; There is short of the reasonable cost control methods in the acquisition process, the legal laws and regulations system is not perfect, so the contract cost control of acquisition can't realize easily.The weapon systems acquisition is a dynamic gambling process under the asymmetrical information condition, the cost of weapon systems acquisition contains the transaction cost and the contract cost, the goal of the cost control is gaining the weapon systems under the resources restraint, which can meet the military needs of the weapon systems, that will realize the best benefit of the acquisition and the gambling equilibrium of the benefit correlated bodies.The cost control of the acquisition has to emphasize the best benefit principle and the military leading principle, the contract cost must be controlled dynamically and timely, that will make the life cycle contract cost optimized; Forming the rent dissipating mechanism and the supervision restraint mechanism in the acquisition by the acquisition system's reforming, so the transaction cost can be controlled reasonably.
