Abstract

The level of defence industrial innovation success has been modest in Malaysia, despite continuous investment into research and development (R&D). The authors use the Defence Research and Development Stakeholder Engagement Framework (DRDSEF) to argue that strategic colla- borative engagement between stakeholders is critical for successful industrial and technological innovation. This paper has two aims: to describe the role of the stakeholders in managing defence R&D funding and to evaluate the challenges faced by these stakeholders in managing government defence R&D allocation for industrial and technological innovation. This is an explora- tory case study using a combination of interpretivist and pragmatist philoso-phical approaches. Analysed data consists of secondary resources and primary resources included surveys in the form of open-ended semi- structured interviews and participatory observation. This paper concludes that successful defence R&D stakeholder engagement requires an open and independent platform, enhanced industry-academia cross-sector fertilisation and collaborative data analytics management tools to share information.

利益相关者在管理政府国防工业创新研发资金中的作用：以马来西亚为例

尽管对研发进行了持续投资，但马来西亚国防工业创新的成功程度并不高。作者使用国防研究与发展利益相关者参与框架（DRDSEF）认为，利益相关者之间的战略协作参与对于成功的工业和技术创新至关重要。本文有两个目的：描述利益相关者在管理国防研发资金方面的作用，并评估这些利益相关者对管理政府国防研发拨款以促进工业和技术创新所面临的挑战。这是一个探索性的案例研究，结合了解释主义和实用主义的哲学方法。分析数据包括二级资源和一级资源，包括以开放式半结构化访谈和参与式观察形式进行的调查。本文得出的结论是，成功的国防研发利益相关者参与需要一个开放和独立的平台，加强行业和学术界的跨部门融合，以及共享信息的协作数据分析管理工具。
