| dc.description.abstract | Abstract- Alongside the growing instability within
Europe's security landscape, militaries begin to seek
innovative ways to counter newly emerging threats.
Whereas growth in logistics is relatively unexplored in the
literature, this paper delves into how AI may enable
military forces to develop, conduct, and grow their logistics
capabilities in ways that help achieve operational
objectives. This research will be based on the extant
literature, whose body focuses on three relevant theories of
growth explaining organizational expansion. The study
argues the relationships among logistics, AI, growth
theories, and industry growth practices in supporting the
military logistics growth development where support from
both the established growth theories and the long-standing
industrial practices are needed. In this respect, the study
positions AI as a crucial enhancer in developing an optimal
strategic-fit growth concept. The paper identifies nine
propositions that underscore the relationship between
theoretical variables of growth enhanced by AI, providing
a framework through which to guide future research on
military logistics growth. The methodology employed in
this study involves a comprehensive literature review
synthesizing existing theories of organizational growth
with practical industrial practices and exploring their
intersection with AI- enhanced logistics in military
contexts. This study proposes AI-driven strategies for
military leaders to enhance logistics growth, contributing
to military innovation and expansion by evaluating and
implementing logistics growth. It further bridges the gap in
the literature on an area relatively unexplored by AIenabled
logistic growth in the military context, providing a
strategic pathway for an innovation and expansion in
military logistics. | en_US |
