Extract

Over the years, the evolution of legal and contractual relationships between the suppliers of equipment and their customers has been fragmentary. Fiscal incentives for the supply of economical equipment have been rare, while incentive contracts for developing military equipment have been the cause of some controversy, particularly as regards allowances for inflation.

Immediate interests have tended to take precedence over longer term characteristics, which are often of more importance to customers. Relative merits of rewards, penalties and other motivating factors have received little attention in the literature, and philosophical considerations have been neglected.
