Abstract

The conversion of arms industries to civilian market production does not always offer the famous 'peace dividend'. The application of new management rules applied to the armaments industry is particularly difficult when moving from logic of advanced technology to the search for a civilian market involving economies of scale and openness to market practices. Diversification increases costs and many organisational obstacles have to be resolved. Geographic policy choices also need to be considered in the context of new investments and obsolescence of arms production capital. Conversion most often leads to higher production costs for new products and no peace dividend in the short term.
