Guy Ben-Ari, a fellow with the CSIS Defense Industrials Initiative, was quoted by TheStreet.com, "Small Companies Can Beat a Bigger Rival."
Take the bad news that hit Boeing(BA - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) this week. Widely expected to win a $35 billion contract to build refueling tankers for the Air Force, the company found itself beat out by Northrop Grumman(NOC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and its partner, the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., or EADS, (which makes Airbus planes). . .
"Even in national defense, it's a global marketplace," says Guy Ben-Ari, a fellow at the Defense-Industrial Initiatives Group of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Having this transatlantic alliance was critical for Northrop Grumman, because it gives them access to EADS' state-of-the-art technology."
