Australia ix Downloaded by [Mr david coopor] at 01:30 03 July 2016 A PRACTITIONER'S PERSPECTIVE 403 companies highlighted in the basket of opportunities, and pursue discussions as to potential modes of co-operation It should be noted that though the technology capabilities of the potential partners were extremely important, other factors such as the management teams of the companies, and their experience with international ventures, were no less crucial to this partnering process ITS complemented this technology-oriented work with a detailed review of Israel Our presentations to the client included a detailed review of the top thirtyplus decision makers in Israel, an analysis of decision makers versus influencers, and careful descriptions of the priorities, goals, and "pet projects" of each Furthermore, as said the theatre of operations analysis provided in depth assessment of Israeli government criteria for evaluating offset proposals, and set forth recommendations to the client company to function as criteria for its opportunity selection This analysis also included a detailed mapping of the Israeli government, including the Ministries of Defence, Finance, Industry and Trade, and the relevant arms of the Israeli Defence Forces The theatre of operations analysis was designed to set the stage for the company's pursuit of offset ventures in Israel As in all campaigns, it was critical that both senior management and the project team feel confident in their understanding of the environment, and develop an appreciation for the unique circumstances of the given target country One of the recommendations ITS submitted was to carry a major technology seminar in Israel to facilitate communication and contact between relevant Israeli entities, and the technical, as well as the business development, representatives of the client contractor Of the 340 Israeli entities reviewed up to that time, 110 were identified as possessing potentially valuable contributions and were invited to attend this seminar, which ITS orchestrated in mid-1993 The delegation from the client company consisted of 40 subject-matter experts from different divisions of the company These individuals were interested in exploring how Israeli entities might assist them in better achieving their technological and business goals Unlike other seminars, which tend to focus on what the local companies wish to sell, this seminar was structured to focus on what the client company wanted to buy: i.e., what are the strategic needs and issues the company needs to address and resolve Though the seminar was obviously connected to the client's offset interests in Israel, it was conducted with the interest of finding business opportunities that the company would want to pursue regardless of any offset credit they might receive The technology seminar, combined with on-site facility visits, yielded over 100 potential opportunities for co-operation The overall assessment of the team was that Israel is a hotbed of innovation and technology, and a country that should be monitored and assessed regardless of offset commitments The success of the seminar also scored a victory for the client company's offset group Downloaded by [Mr david coopor] at 01:30 03 July 2016 404 THE ECONOMICS OF OFFSETS Members of the client company recognised that by acting as a catalyst to bring representatives from numerous parts of the corporation to Israel, the need to develop offsets opened up opportunities that otherwise would have gone unnoticed, or still worse, gone to the competition Of the 100 potential projects identified, over 30 were rated as top priority initiatives Several were signed and executed towards the end of 1993, prior to any selection of the plane or the engine, due to their enormous relevancy and contribution to the needs of the company On the basis of the information gathered by the ITS teams, the client company was presented with a strategy recommending four basic thrusts for the company's offset activities in Israel The first called for aggressively pursuing co-operation with government-owned defence entities, responding to the government's priority to address the defence industry crisis The second called for the company to target strategic co-operation with leading Israeli high-tech companies, ensuring that the client company and its divisions benefit from business activities pursued in Israel The seminar exemplified this thrust The third recommendation was to develop added-value, people-intensive initiatives which would address Prime Minister Rabin's mandate to generate jobs immediately Fourth, ITS recommended that the company team-up with in-country technology investment and holding companies to leverage its own investments with those of experienced local partners This four-pronged strategy formed the basis for the basket of opportunities Each recommendation was accompanied by a set of entities most suited to the needs of the client Furthermore, ITS presented specific projects for the client company to carry out with each of the entities it recommended 15.4.5 Procurement Selection Analysis There was never a clear favourite between the F-16 and the F/A-18 The IAF was familiar with the Lockheed aircraft, already in possession of over 200, and the planes had performed well Indeed, the plane had attained a special significance to Israelis because the IAF used it in numerous combat missions, including the successful surprise bombing of an Iraqi nuclear plant in 1981 Additionally, ordering more F-16s would provide savings in infrastructure, maintenance, and training costs However, a sizeable contingent in the MOD and IAF backed the F/A-18 The aircraft uses two engines instead of one, giving it a possible survivability advantage; was perceived as more capable than the F-16 in night attack; and offered the advantages of fleet diversification The contest between GE and P&W was viewed similarly; either engine was deemed up to the task However, the MOD appeared to be on-schedule in its decision-making process and nearing final determinations in the later part of 1993 But it then Downloaded by [Mr david coopor] at 01:30 03 July 2016 A PRACTITIONER'S PERSPECTIVE 405 stalled over rumours that the US Administration would let Israel purchase the F-15E, a plane that the Israelis had expressed great interest in but that had never been available for export Congress' approval of the F-15E for export to Israel paved the way for the IAF's acquisition of the aircraft Industrial co-operation initiatives are important to Israel However, it is our assessment that offsets, as a rule, will not sway the decision of the IAF or any other branch of the Israeli military unless the various systems under consideration are perceived to be of equal value Thus the choice of the F-15E/I A shift in strategic and operational priorities for Israel made the F-15I preferable over the F-16 or FIA-18 In the past, most of the lAP's procurements stressed interception and peripheral air superiority However, the now low probability of a conventional war on Israel's borders and the introduction of missiles into the Middle East military balance transformed several basic tenants of national security Israel would now have to be able to operate against long-range targets, countries such as Iran, Iraq, and Libya And it might have to so at night, and avoid detection in severe weather The F-15I possesses night flying, all-weather, and long-distance strike capabilities at a higher level than that of either the F-16s or the F/A-18s originally offered Lockheed responded to the change in the competition, offering a thoroughly updated version of the F-16, the F-16ES The F-16ES would have been a very capable aircraft, and substantially cheaper than the Eagle However, the plane was still in the design stages, a fact that may have fundamentally weakened Lockheed's position The order was a major victory for McDonnell Douglas It also sweetened a recent Saudi order for 72 F-15s (a procurement Israel protested) Of the two engine companies, Pratt & Whitney was selected to power the Eagle with the F-I00-PW-229 engine Israel's first F-15Is are to be delivered by 1996-97 Over the three years in which ITS supported this offset initiative, we learned several important lessons First, while of great importance for IAF procurements, offsets will not sway a decision to buy any particular system unless the various systems being considered are perceived to be of equal value Second~ we found Israel to hold great promise in diverse areas of technology, from expert systems for composite repairs and fibre optic lasers, to solid modelling/simulation technologies, to adhesive bonding, to multimedia/training, all activities highly relevant to most companies pursuing offset initiatives in Israel Third, Israeli entities are enormously interested in co-operation with foreign companies, and very aware of the role and ramifications of offset obligations Lastly, we developed an appreciation for the activities and support provided by the ICA, and have found them to be in principle open to innovative initiatives and uncommon methods for fulfilling offset commitments 406 Downloaded by [Mr david coopor] at 01:30 03 July 2016 15.5 THE ECONOMICS OF OFFSETS Conclusion The ITS motto is "offset fulfilment through global technology initiatives" This chapter was written to provide a practitioner's insight into the current offset environment and demonstrate how technology initiatives can play a significant role in the formation and pursuit of offset strategies It is our hope that the reader has gained insight into our company's philosophies and methodologies, and that the review of Peace Marble IV/Peace Fox VI has provided a tangible example of the philosophies and principles discussed in this chapter As the demand for offset increases, so will the challenges of pursuing it It is our sincere hope that fulfilment of offsets through technology initiatives will be adopted as a primary mode of fulfilment by both defence contractors and governments alike, paving the way to long-term, mutually beneficial relationships crossing geographic and national boundaries Chapter 16 Concluding Remarks Downloaded by [Mr david coopor] at 01:30 03 July 2016 Stephen Martin Centre for Defence Economics, University of York, UK The aim of this chapter is to identify any common themes that emerge from the case studies and the associated lessons that can be drawn for public policy towards offsets Given that the analysis has focused on a variety of countries, often with very different defence, economic, industrial and political backgrounds, it might be anticipated that few, if any, such points would materialise Indeed, given the various forms of offset (such as co-production, licensed production, direct and indirect offset) and the different policy objectives, the task of identifying any common themes might have proved an onerous one On the contrary, though, there appear to be a number of findings which, whilst not readily apparent in all of the case studies, come through sufficiently strongly to warrant discussion Perhaps the first point to make - and one which applies to virtually all countries - is that the absence of a reliable and consistent body of data makes any evaluation of offset programmes incredibly difficult Indeed, in some cases the only publicly available data was the financial size of the offset together with a very brief description of the type of work which was considered to be eligible towards the vendor obligation This data deficiency is all the more surprising given the substantial financial sums that are often involved and the fact that the offset package has sometimes proved the decisive factor in a purchaser's choice of vendor Indeed, the US is the only country where regular and rigorous attempts have been made to track the impact of offsets in terms of jobs, technology and international competitiveness Here, of course, the focus is on the domestic impact of offsets associated with US exports, rather than that associated with US imports (which is the more relevant scenario for most countries) Typically, the impact of a direct/indirect offset is measured in financial terms (e.g $500 million over a five-year period) and, in these circumstances, the success or failure of the offset depends on whether the vendor meets its obligation within the specified time period However, the usefulness of this approach towards the evaluation of any offset programme depends on whether the work which is eligible towards an obligation actually occurred as a result of the offset, or whether it merely reflected existing business relations If it is the 407 Downloaded by [Mr david coopor] at 01:30 03 July 2016 408 THE ECONOMICS OF OFFSETS latter case, then the impact of any offset, no matter how large financially, is likely to be rather trivial Also relevant for the evaluation of any offset is information on the programme's cost That is, how much more does the offset cost compared with an off-the-shelf purchase? Many, but not all, states seem wedded to the idea that offsets are free goods and are reluctant to publicly admit that an offset costs more than an off-the-shelf purchase Once this is recognised, though, further issues arise concerning the cost effectiveness of the offset programme and whether there are any other policy instruments which could obtain similar benefits for a smaller outlay Aside from the lacuna of data, the case studies reveal a number of interesting themes First, offsets have involved a learning experience for both the vendor and purchaser and, as with any new initiative, both parties probably made mistakes in the early days Vendors might have underestimated both the cost and the degree of difficulty with meeting their offset commitments Initially, offset agreements were often on a 'best endeavours' basis but, as a number of countries learnt, financial penalties for the non-fulfilment of offsets proved a better incentive than the much vaguer 'best endeavours' Firms in a number of purchasing countries initially, and quite erroneously, believed that an offset obligation guaranteed them orders irrespective of their cost and quality performance and, when such sales did not materialise, it led to widespread disenchantment with offsets Also, firms with an obligation would, understandably, seek offset credit for as many purchases as it could lay claim to, irrespective of whether they met the necessary criteria Consequently, administering offset programmes, particularly large ones, proved an onerous task Inevitably disputes will arise over whether work is new work, generated by the offset, or whether it reflects established business patterns Similarly, there will be debate as to whether the work meets the necessary technological standards and, where there is no obvious market price, there might be difficulty attaching a mutually agreeable value to, say, technology transfers These teething troubles are inevitable although experience suggests that they decline as both parties become more familiar with each other The only way around many of these problems is to agree a package of offset work in advance rather than wait for the vendor to place work with domestic industry However, this is simply not practical for, say, a $1 billion worth of indirect offset! Second, there seems to have been a move away from rather general offset programmes with broad eligibility criteria, and towards more focused measures This might reflect the recognition that offsets cost more than an off-the-shelf purchase and that purchasers wish to concentrate their scarce resources in specific areas rather than provide a general subsidy to all of industry Downloaded by [Mr david coopor] at 01:30 03 July 2016 CONCLUDING REMARKS 409 Third, the time horizon of those seeking offset seems to have lengthened, particularly in countries with a developing defence industry One of the criticisms of offset is that once a vendor has fulfilled its obligation it will transfer its business to another state where it has an outstanding commitment To overcome this, many countries allow a firm to bank offset credit in anticipation of a future obligation and this provides an incentive for the firm to continue placing work with domestic manufacturers Of course, many countries are seeking the production work that this can bring and so the banking arrangement is the appropriate response to this form of short-termism However, developing defence industries often want more than just production work, with technological and marketing skills being particularly attractive To induce foreign manufacturers to share these assets, a number of countries now seek to draw foreign firms into the domestic economy through either equity investments in existing domestic firms or the establishment of joint ventures Both approaches provide the foreign firm with an incentive to continue to place work in the domestic economy and to share other skills as this increases the profitability of its overseas investment The interpretation of this move away from broadly defined short-term offset work and towards a more focused long-term investment strategy is, by no means, clear cut It could be that it reflects what is perceived to be the failure of the former approach and that, as alleged, foreign suppliers cease placing work in the domestic economy once their offset obligation is complete An alternative interpretation would emphasise the success of the offset strategy in laying the foundations on which future joint ventures could be built By encouraging foreign firms to place work with domestic manufacturers, both parties become familiar with doing business with each other The foreign firm is made aware of the capabilities of domestic manufacturers who, in tum, become aware of the cost and quality requirements for sales to the foreign firm In this scenario, offsets force domestic manufacturers to become more efficient and, once this has occurred, make the foreign manufacturer more willing to invest in the local firm The move away from offsets and towards joint ventures does not reflect the failure of the former; rather, the reverse Of course, this form of offset is likely to be more attractive to those countries with a developing defence industrial base than to states that have less of a need for new technologies Finally, none of the country studies provide any evidence to suggest that offsets are likely to disappear in the foreseeable future Certainly, the US has unilaterally sought to limit the size of offset that American firms can offer and Congress has passed a bill that limits the steps that US firms can adopt to fulfil any offset obligation As part of a Code of Conduct for defence trade, the US has also sought multi-lateral agreement with its NATO partners to limit and eventually eliminate all offsets, which it, views as a barrier to defence trade However, 410 THE ECONOMICS OF OFFSETS Downloaded by [Mr david coopor] at 01:30 03 July 2016 since an initial draft in 1992, the Code of Conduct has made little progress towards being a more substantive document and thus the prospect for a mutual elimination of all offsets, within this forum at least, remains remote Elsewhere, as long as purchasers continue to require offsets, and there is no reason why they should cease to so, competitive pressures will force vendors to meet such demands Index Downloaded by [Mr david coopor] at 01:30 03 July 2016 Each country's
