Global Security
Beginning after world war two, global security became a greater concern for many if not all nations. Global security is the basic human need for survival and safety. Nations are now taking more measures including military actions to ensure their security on national and international levels. The aerospace and defense industry is striving more and more every year to meet the needs of the nations for security purposes. However, reports show that most of these industries are not performing at the rate they could potentially.
At this time, more than half of the aerospace and defense companies are not evolving their business models and strategies with the shifting demand of the times. These companies are gradually moving towards failure as they are giving more opportunities to their competitors who are more aware of the significant value of changing their strategies with the changing market demands.
To improve their performance and survive in a competitive environment, these failing industries need to bring innovation to their strategies and to the final execution of those strategies. These companies need to stop moving ahead as fast as they can to win the race and instead focus on the quality of their progress. Here is how aerospace and defense industries have evolved over the years and which strategies they chose to perform their roles.
The Evolution of Aerospace and Defense Industry Over the Years
The Aerospace and Defense industry is one of the leading industries in the globe. By 2015, the total revenue of the top 100 industries was around $674 billion, which highlights the industry’s worth. What this industry looks like today has changed significantly from the beginning. If we go back a few more years, we can observe that some industries have stayed stagnant in their outdated strategies for many years, without progress. This allowed others in the industry to build their name within the market by replacing the old players who refused to grow with the times.
Both the defense and aerospace sectors of the industry have an unstable structure today. Market power as well as the demand are both continuously shifting. There are certain factors that are demanding huge changes within these industries. If the industries want to earn more revenue in the long term, then they need to reevaluate their business models and strategies according to the market’s specific needs.
The Role of Business Strategies and Business Models
Many companies that have shaped the industry over the years have not brought any significant changes to their strategies. Instead, they chose to implement passive strategies over active strategies that would have brought them significant returns. However, these active strategies would come with a higher failure rate if not executed properly. The desired business model must be logically sound and function well in conjunction with the planned strategy. Today the aerospace and defense industry needs to bring a fundamental change to its traditional schemes. These modifications to now outdated strategies could potentially improve the company’s performance and offer more global security than ever before.
