Abstract Purpose -The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to provide further insights into the challenges and opportunities that arise from simultaneously being an entrant and an incumbent and, second, to help these firms effectively use supply chain management capabilities to respond to disruptive threats. Design/methodology/approach -This is an "insights from industry" paper. It is based on a retrospective analysis of rich data obtained at the SIRIUS Chair in Toulouse, France, from an important cluster of aerospace firms and the authors' accumulated experience. Findings -The authors found that under conditions of disruptive change, the ability to make the final customer the focal point and to build a comprehensive understanding of the overall supply network are key in shaping and taking advantage of future opportunities. These abilities enable firms to analyze different scenarios and identify the roles they want to play, the collaborations they need to establish and the possible internal changes required. Originality/value -This paper offers several new perspectives from practice. The authors analyze two types of space industry innovations: individual small satellites (or "smallsats") and smallsat constellations. Three types of capabilities are focused on: inside-out, outside-in and spanning. Disrupt-or-be-disrupted does not fully describe the dynamics the authors observed; cooperative competition and complementarity provide a better framework for ideas on how to cope with disruptive opportunities.

Leveraging the Internet of Things and Blockchain Technology in Supply Chain Management

“…They are evolving into value-creating networks where the value chain itself turns into a vital source of competitive advantage. At the same time, developments are in progress to integrate Blockchain technology with IoT solutions, leading to novel structures of modern supply chains‚ new partnerships, as well as new ways of collaboration and value creation across supply networks [37].…”

Entrepreneurial space and the freedom for entrepreneurship: Institutional settings, policy, and action in the space industry

“…The space industry is perceived as very innovative, leading us to expect it to be an environment conducive to entrepreneurship. Yet, the space industry is highly regulated by institutions (Pérez, Dos Santos Paulino, & Cambra‐Fierro, 2017). There is little research examining how institutions impact on entrepreneurship at an industry level (Urbano, Aparicio, & Audretsch, 2019; Welter, 2011; Whetten, 1989), we know from work in other contexts that institutions tend to form the rules of the innovation game (Acs, Audretsch, Lehmann, & Licht, 2017).…”

Environmental cost control system of manufacturing enterprises using artificial intelligence based on value chain of circular economy

“…The international division of the manufacturing industry for the manufacturing chain splits and selects different parts of the procurement of spare parts and assembly, thereby enabling labour division based on internationalised theoretical basis. For quite a long time, China's equipment manufacturing industry adopted three process models of international cooperation, such as the traditional process while making China's manufacturing industries and the international division of labour supply chain and value chain in the world; however, it was not suitable for the long-term development of China (Pérez, Dos Santos Paulino, and Cambra-Fierro 2017). Compared with the international cooperation model, a wide range of international cooperation strategies have subcontract production.…”
