Project Description
This proposal focuses on the suborbital commercial transportation industry including categories of tourism, payloads, and launch sites and spaceports. Analyses of new and existing industries utilize the academic framework of “Five Forces that Shape Industry Competition” developed by Michael E. Porter (1980). An additional analysis will be performed utilizing another of Dr. Porter’s (1990) frameworks, the “Diamond Model.” This model examines the advantage a nation, specifically here, the US, may have within a specific industry while looking at factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries, firm strategy, structure and rivalry, government, and chance.
Project Outcomes
– Industry structural analyses of suborbital commercial space transportation utilizing the academic framework of the “Five Forces” by Porter (1980). A comprehensive review of academic and practitioner literature in related fields will give the analysis the appropriate support.
– Competitive analysis from the US viewpoint of the suborbital commercial space transportation industry utilizing the academic framework of the “Diamond Model” by Porter (1990). A comprehensive review of academic and practitioner literature in related fields will give the analysis the appropriate support.
– Dissemination of ongoing information and findings via a maintained website with the intent of engaging stakeholders in dialogue.
