Analysis of key Factors in Collaborative Governance Models Between Navy and Maritime Industry using Delphi - Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM)

Abstract

Mapping research direction on collaborative governance within the maritime industry is crucial for developing a comprehensive review. Many maritime companies currently employ traditional and outdated approaches to collaborative governance management, showing resistance to adopting more advanced methods. This research aims to explore these factors and their impact on improving operational effectiveness through collaboration between the Navy and the maritime industry. The study utilizes the Delphi technique and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). Eight collaborative governance factors were identified from the literature and validated through assessments by twelve experts. These factors are: Budget (C1), Capability Building (C2), Leadership Commitment (C3), Trust Building (C4), Regulatory Framework (C5), Technology (C6), Resource Availability (C7), and Goals and Objectives (C8). The ISM approach was employed to develop contextual relationships and hierarchical structural models, resulting in a six-level digraph. The analysis revealed that Capability Building (C2) has a low driving force, while Resource Availability (C7) exhibits the highest dependence. Technology (C6) and Capability Building (C2) were identified as dependent variables with weak driving force but strong dependence. Goals and Objectives (C8) emerged as the only independent variable with a strong driving force but weak dependence. The linkage variables include Budget (C1), Leadership Commitment (C3), Trust Building (C4), Regulatory Framework (C5), and Resource Availability (C7)
