Abstract
The existing literature around business models has evolved significantly in recent years and the concept is now used in the context of innovation management, business strategy, and value creation. However, academic consensus on the definition and the question of how to represent a business model is still missing in innovation management, entrepreneurship or strategic management theory literature. Several perspectives on business models have been put forward, which essentially highlight the role of different capabilities and activities (including relations and partnerships) that support a cost structure and revenue model in line with the value proposition for a particular customer segment. When applying these models to the space business, there is a need to understand how the various business model components relate to the particular characteristics of that sector. The space industry despite its remarkable potential tends to remain an under-studied sector within the fieldofbusinessstudies. Sofar,fewacademicpapersdescribeoranalyzebusiness models in the space industry. Building on this background, this paper is providing a thorough review of the existing literature on business models and space business models in the era of Space 4.0.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
