The Competition in CONTRACTING ACT by JENNIFER JONES
Eleventh in a series of introductory articles on contracting. When attending contracting certification courses, students often are asked to perform exercises that relate to contract- ing issues they may not understand. They can do the exercises following the processes we teach them, but the best students want to know what it all means. Their inquiries inspired me to write this series of articles.
