摘要
澳大利亚工业能力(Australian Industry Capability,AIC)计划是一个混合性的例子,通过国防部、全球主要承包商和澳大利亚中小型公司之间复杂的合作关系来实现国家安全利益。通过对国防工业利益相关者进行定性访谈研究,并对公开的国防工业文件进行三角测量,本研究旨在记录与 AIC 计划相关的脱钩情况。我们发现,由混合性产生的复杂性和不透明性造成了 AIC 计划实施过程中的脱钩现象。我们还发现,缺乏问责和监督也是造成脱钩的原因之一。澳大利亚工业能力(AIC)计划是公共部门管理中涉及国防工业的复杂混合安排的一个案例。AIC 安排的混合性带来了复杂性和不透明性的挑战,创造了导致脱钩的条件。缺乏问责和监督加剧了这些挑战。
Decoupling in hybrid arrangements: Insights from the Australian defence industry
The Australian Industry Capability (AIC) program presents an example of hybridity where national security interests are served through a complex partnership between the Department of Defence, global prime contractors, and small and medium‐sized Australian companies. Through a qualitative interview study of stakeholders in the defence industry by and triangulating findings from publicly available defence industry documents, this study aims to document the decoupling associated with the AIC program. We find that complexity and opacity, stemming from hybridity, create decoupling in the implementation of the AIC program. We also find that a lack of accountability and monitoring contributes to decoupling. We advance the literature on hybridity into the context of multi‐organisational arrangements in a unique industry and identify how decoupling can impede the achievement of policy objectives in the context of complex hybrid arrangements.
The Australian Industry Capability (AIC) program represents a case of complex hybrid arrangement in public sector management involving the defence industry.
Hybridity of AIC arrangements creates challenges of complexity and opacity, creating conditions that give rise to decoupling. Lack of accountability and monitoring exacerbates these challenges.
Potential for coupling is identified with recommendations provided.
