“…The existing literature argues that the defense industry is operating in a triple helix, i.e. universities, governments and industry (Figure 2) [47][48][49]. Thus, civil society and environment are not found in Figure 2 as the figure is limited to the triple helix.…”

As climate change is at the top of the world’s agenda, the armed forces and other defense actors must give a signal that they are environmentally responsible. In this regard, the defense industry should be one of the first actors to devise new strategies and actions aimed at reducing the environmental footprint. This article focuses on the measures being taken by the defense industry and the armed forces, and on how technology, the circular economy (CE) and Lean principles can contribute to a better environment. A qualitative multimethod research model was used, covering more than one research method, such as a systematic literature review and a case study research. Although the literature highlights that the defense sector in Europe is far from being a green actor, a transition to the CE was identified. In that regard, the European Union (EU) defense industry has been a key player in CE R strategies, such as: repurpose, remanufacture, repair, reuse, reduce and rethink. The contribution of new technologies has empowered military equipment to acquire enhanced characteristics, such as material resistance, while EU technology centers have been instrumental in a green transition. Additionally, more comprehensive research is needed in order to allow generalization of the results.

“…He applied feedback control theory on industrial systems to establish a management model (Forrester 1961). This methodology has been applied in various areas, such as, organization management and organization learning (Senge 1990), industrial development (Jan and Hsiao 2004;Jan and Chen 2005), biomedical industry and medical treatment management. Dangerfield (1999) took a European perspective; a review is made of some SD models which address health care issues.…”

Elder care is an important issue in many developed countries such as U.S., Japan, and Taiwan. With the advent of population aging throughout the world, the development of long-term care facilities has become a very vital topic. In actuality, long-term care systems involve government oversight agencies as well as interaction between factors such as laws, social environment, culture, long-term care facilities, residents, and the families of residents, forming a complex and dynamic system. This paper uses system dynamics methodology to model the developmental structure of Taiwanese long-term care facilities to explore its system behaviors. The developmental structure of long-term care facilities in Taiwan is primarily composed of the four levels: overall satisfaction, overall service quality, the skill of administrative and medical care personnel and facility hardware resources. Time delay, complex, and dynamic relationships are present in the overall structure. The overall service quality of facilities is one of the most important factors in facilities' development and that the skills of administrative and medical care personnel is the main critical factor in improving overall service quality. Finally, some suggestions are discussed relevant strategies for the government and the industry.

“…Its complexity has been attributed to the multiple political, economic, social, cultural, and technological factors involved. For developing economies, this complexity is exacerbated by the role of the government, interactions between multinational corporations and domestic firms, and technological development (Jan and Chen, 2005). SIDS, in addition to the typical challenges of developing countries, must also cope with other disadvantages such as small size, remoteness and vulnerability to natural disasters (Briguglio, 1995), and Caribbean SIDS have been further disadvantaged due to characteristics such as having a narrow range of economic activities, a plantation history, and export concentration on primary products (Bailey and Karagiannis, 2013).…”

Export competitiveness and industrial development: a study of an apparel value chain in a small island developing state

This paper examines how the implementation of vertical policies for apparel value chains in small island developing states (SIDS) impacts export competitiveness. A causal loop diagram was the basis of the preliminary conceptual framework, which was studied in a single case study of the Trinidad and Tobago apparel industry. The framework comprised three key elements: factors that affect competitiveness, vertical policy instruments and the beneficiaries of these policies. Six vertical policies implemented over a ten-year period were considered. The findings show that, while the vertical policies implemented are in keeping with prescribed instruments, export competitiveness has declined. The policy implications include the need for an overarching objective informing policies; the need for coherent policy making that considers the beneficiaries and the required skill-set, and the critical inputs by value chain actors, private sector and public sector to increase export competitiveness by way of GVC participation and GVC upgrading.
