  • Identification of critical factor indexes from triple helix perspective : case of Slovenian forest based industry [Elektronski vir]
    Malek, Nurul Aida Abdul ...
    Slovenia%s forest -wood product chain has been struggling due to low value -added prod ucts and decreasing export competitiveness. In such situation, the necessity of a sustainable forest -based ... product development effort has to be taken into consideration. Effective interactions between and within the triple helix institutional actors which are the university, industry and public are fundamental as these actors have to explicitly agree on the same issues, share their respective motives and together develop innovative solutions for the issue. The triple helix framework supports knowledge creat ion by fine- tuning communications regardless of the different value systems used in the background. Continuous evaluation towards organizational competencies and resources guides organizations in striving for sustainable competitive advantage. This study demonstrates the application of Sense and Respond (S&R) analytical models in the analysis of interactions between and within triple helix institutional actors; university -industry- public in the forest -based industry of Slovenia. The model evaluates the dist ribution of organizational resources based on four competitive priorities; quality, cost, time and flexibility into their operations strategy. It assists in identifying critical attributes in a worse trend development in order to enhance operational compet itiveness as well as innovation capabilities of the industry by making strategic adjustments accordingly. The result of the analysis reveals that most of the interactions emphasize on quality in resource allocations. Critical attributes found using the worse trend development with potential drawbacks in the effort to transform operation capabilities into competitive advantage were found in all interactions. The attributes are further compressed into five main categories based on the similarities found withi n them. The current turbulent business environment demands organizations that are not only competing through their own capabilities but together with other members of the network to generate a value chain synergetic impact to gain competitive advantage. Th is study is supporting this effort by highlighting the areas for improvement in business processes and organizational routines among the forest -based industry of the triple helix institutional actors in Slovenia to enhance their operational competitiveness .
