Mason will examine free cash flow in the defense sector, the impact of cash flow by contract type and financing, financing and its impact on small businesses, and government accounting system requirements as a barrier to the commercial sector’s willingness to do business with the federal government. These studies will contribute to the first comprehensive analysis of the department’s finance policies in over thirty years. The research will be performed over eight months, beginning in June 2021.</p> <p>“The Center for Government Contracting is honored to have been selected for this important research by the department and we very much look forward to conducting these studies,” said Jerry McGinn, Ph.D., executive director of the center.</p> <p>School of Business Dean Maury Peiperl noted the unique role that the GovCon Center now plays for government, business, and academia. “This research will see our school’s faculty, and faculty from partner institutions, applying thought leadership in business for the public good. It will both inform our teaching and improve our students’ preparedness for the government acquisition workforce.”</p> <p><strong>For more information, contact:</strong></p> <p>Jerry McGinn, Ph.D.<br /> Executive Director, Center for Government Contracting<br /> ����AV<br /> School of Business<br /> 4400 University Drive<br /> Fairfax, VA 22030<br /> 703-895-7544 Mobile | 703-993-4156 Office<br /><a href="mailto:jmcginn5@gmu.edu" title="Email jmcginn5@gmu.edu">jmcginn5@gmu.edu</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div data-block-plugin-id="field_block:node:news_release:field_content_topics" class="block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenews-releasefield-content-topics"> <h2>Topics</h2> <div class="field field--name-field-content-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Topics</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/12501" hreflang="en">Costello College of Business News</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1761" hreflang="en">Center for Government Contracting</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/12421" hreflang="en">Center for Government Contracting News</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Fri, 03 Dec 2021 17:33:01 +0000 Marianne Klinker 60836 at
