Eco-Innovative Military Procurement: An Alternative Futures Approach

Military organizations must develop their capabilities to be innovative and achieve eco-innovative goals. A literature review was used as the research method to understand better how this can be done. Our approach combines existing literature from various sources to uncover new insights for military leaders. This study examines specific military literature to explore the different aspects of eco-innovation capability development within the Army. The findings can help military organizations enhance their command and supply capabilities and achieve success in their respective operational fields. We applied an alternative futures analysis to the hierarchy process to thoroughly examine the eco-innovation issue. This tool proved instrumental in formulating an initial scenario to enhance the considered capability. The resulting scenarios are critically evaluated to provide conclusive insights and address the research queries. The critical aspects synthesized for eco-leadership implementation in a military organization will be an essential extension for enabling future iterations of eco-innovation capability development processes.
