Business Model Innovation in Aerospace Industrial Value Chains - A Study of Future Challenges

Important results from the project

The project is a pilot study that identifies challenges for business models in the aerospace value chain. The study has developed a structured conceptual framework with archetypal business model innovation strategies and identified networks for continued collaboration around further studies. Overall, the results provide a basis for continuing and deepening studies of how business models can be developed.

Expected long term effects

The project is expected to be a basis for further studies, partly in the already existing project mentioned, but also continued and in-depth collaborations with identified collaborations that are one of the project´s results. In the long term, the project is expected to create new project and in-depth collaborations.

Approach and implementation

The project has been implemented according to plan, however with a delay due to personnel changes, primarily at Linköping University, where a staff member left and the project needed to be replanned. The implementation of the studies themselves has been done through interview studies with involved actors, literature studies and through the contacts established during the course of the project.
