Interested in research on NASA, SpaceX, and the business of space? Join us at AOM on Friday, August 4 at 1:00pm-2.30pm in Suffolk at Boston Marriott. Registration is not necessary.
Due to decreasing launch costs and rapidly improving technologies, space has become relevant for a multitude of industries from pharmaceuticals and consumer goods to insurance and manufacturing. This workshop brings together experienced scholars to discuss the recent developments in the "New Space Age" and their implications for both theory and practice in strategic management, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Four panelists will share their experiences from different perspectives (technology and innovation strategies, stakeholder management and legitimacy, ecosystems and breakthroughs, competition and governance) in space-related work and discuss three questions: (1) What lessons have they learned from their research, teaching, and other types of experiences related to space? (2) Is space different, i.e., do we need new theories to explain business in space? (3) What are the most interesting and relevant research opportunities for management scholars interested in space? The four presentations are followed by the opportunity for the audience to ask questions and interact with the panelists.

Melissa Schilling, New York University

Raja Roy, New Jersey Institute of Technology
Matthew Weinzierl, Harvard Business School
Organizer & Chair:
