Summary:

This case study requires students to apply learning curve theory to support a bid on a government contract to replace a defective part in the landing gear of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and communicate to a supervisor the ethicality of using a competitor's bid information to gain a competitive advantage. This case is fictional but relies on actual issues. One is the failed landing gear of the F-35 at Hill Air Force Base.1 The other is the receipt of a competitor's bid on an unrelated project by Lockheed Martin.2 This Teaching Note includes the learning objectives and rationale, the intended courses and audience, a grading rubric, suggested assignment questions and answers, suggested discussion questions and answers, and an assessment of case efficacy.
