ABSTRACT
Capturing the robust debate and complex information associated with formulating and implementing an effective and efficient national space strategy is certainly a challenging task. As information and data are collected, created, and analyzed, strategy-makers are advised to use multiple lenses of thought and analysis to create the most effective strategic knowledge and intelligence regarding the articulation of a national space strategy. This chapter offers theoretical frameworks and analytics from the field of strategic management. The foundations of this scholarly approach to understanding how multiple units or organizations achieve a mission over several years are found in organizational theory, game theory, and industrial economics. This chapter will primarily use frameworks from the resource-based view of strategic management to help frame the challenge of articulating a space strategy that makes economic sense and produces strategic value.
