Business Outlook
Pros
Despite being part of a the global conglomerate, Finmeccanica, DRS remains a mostly decentralized organization of smaller defense businesses that react/respond quickly to changes in market and customer needs, allowing it to react quickly and competitively to secure new business opportunities.
Cons
The attributes of smaller companies also bring challenges of scale, which can negatively affect cost structure. Talent development also falls short when compared to larger company strategies, which seek a continuous improvement culture of people and process to drive competitive advantage.
