Abstract

After a focus on cost reductions for nearly twenty-five years, the Swedish Armed Forces are now facing a period when the defense budget will increase. The report identifies the current state of knowledge and the need for new research on achieving value for a higher defense budget. The report presents the results of an in-depth literature review and interviews with representatives from the Armed Forces. . The reports formulates an analytical framework based on the concepts critical sectors and growth factors. Critical sectors refers to defined activities or sectors of the Armed Forces with priority of growth in combat forces and functions. Growth factors refers to factors that either hinder or promote organizational growth, such as the availability of staff and competences. The analytical framework is also illustrated with examples from the Armed Forces. The study shows that the current state of knowledge about growth in public organizations is limited. It is concluded that the Armed Forces should invest in related research within the FoT-program. Such research should aim at strengthening the conditions for the operational capability in the long run and the conditions for short-term increases in defense production. Here, both concept and method development to handle the different time perspectives is important.
