Abstract :
Military trade, as a historical phenomenon, has played an important role in the economies of various countries. The aim of this research is to examine the economic activity model of the Islamic Republic of Iran's army and identify the key factors affecting its economic performance. This research is applied in nature and employs a mixed-methods approach (qualitative-quantitative) using an exploratory method. In the qualitative section, interviews were conducted and documents were reviewed with 8 experts from the Resistance Economy Organization of the army. In the quantitative section, sampling was omitted, and instead, a census method was used. Therefore, 28 questionnaires were distributed to the economic managers of the army. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling in Smart PLS software. The results indicated that key categories include "reengineering," "networking," "productivity enhancement and cost reduction," "financing," and "business intelligence enhancement," each of which contributes to improving processes and increasing the efficiency of the army. The findings highlight the importance of synergy among these categories in improving the economic activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran's army, and attention to these factors can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the army's economic activities, ultimately leading to its real economic and strategic policy.
