Please watch the embedded video on Public-Private Partnerships for Homeland Security, and comment upon it as well as our readings from Celluci and Pastor regarding at least two of the following:
What was \”business as usual\” at DHS if, as Celucci claims, \”it\’s not business as usual at DHS?\”
Where do you see the role of the commercialization office going in the next five years? Ten years? Beyond?
If the DHS sees value in commercialization, what value for money is the taxpayer receiving in privatization or public-private partnerships?
How does commercialization help DHS develop solutions efficiently and effectively?
Have personal security and constitutional rights eroded or grown stronger since 9/11?
