Abstract:

A program sponsored by the Department of Defense (DOD) allows small firms to team up with larger ones in a mentoring-prot�g� relationship that helps both gain more defense contracts. Mentors help prot�g� companies assess their strengths and weakness, develop marketing plans, analyze opportunities and threats to their businesses, create business plans for the future and strengthen a wide array of business skills. The mentor benefits by helping the DOD award contracts to small, minority-owned and/or woman-owned businesses, which helps it win more contracts. Both gain important and lasting business relationships.
