2009 Sept 21 Toffler Black & White Paper: "A House Divided Cannot Stand: The Need to Unify the U.S. Space Industry"
- While issues ranging from funding to inspiration threaten inno-vation within the United States space industry, the world is simultaneously gaining the ability to reach and do business in space – with or without us. This paper describes how unifying the U.S. space industry is the key to surpassing the “Old Space vs. New Space” debate and maintaining America’s status as an innovative leader.
2010 July 16 - International Space University Space Studies Program (SSP) 2010 - Business & Management Department "Space Tourism" Workshop
- Background and Description
- During this workshop, participating students were asked to attempt to respond to a series of 98 questions that would comprise an Industry Structural Analysis as described in the 1980 Michael Porter text "Competitive Strategy."
- This exercise was originally designed to be performed over the course of 3.5 days, but the ISU SSP10 participants only had 3.5 *hours* to respond to these questions, so some questions were left unanswered. Also, the depth and voracity of the responses were not challenged or adjusted due to the very limited time available.
- Having said all that, the resulting document is a great start toward an in-depth Industry Structural Analysis of the Emerging Commercial Suborbital Human Transportation Space Sector. Students learned about Porter's 5-Forces market structure theory, and were able to exercise the process of performing the analysis.
- Future activities would use the results of this workshop and allow sufficient time for a more complete treatment of the subject.
