Goehlich focuses on the strategic aspects of decision-making within aerospace organizations, concentrating on the make-or-buy decision in order to examine organizational efficiencies. He develops a decision-supporting process, that handles approximately 50 propositions of make-or-buy decisions, systematically connected to strategic objectives, and organizational, product and environmental characteristics. The strength of this process lies in its ability to cover the entire spectrum of make-or-buy (the continuum from in-house to buy-off-the-shelf) in order to support decision-makers with holistic recommendations. This process allows one to determine the kind of organizational architecture that is best suited to a specified activity. The resulting computerized tool is applied to four case studies taken from the aerospace sector: (A) copy machine usage (as a reference), (B) aircraft final assembly production, (C) satellite rocket launch operation and (D) space tourism rocket development. In three of the four cases, the make-or-buy decision that is recommended by the tool mirrors instinctual, experience-based conclusions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Goehlich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3834915300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783834915306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabler Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Robert Goehlich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45896978333951,"sku":"9783834915306","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45afdb47-49c0-4bbb-baf7-91f4d8ce5d93.jpg?v=1721372849","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/make-or-buy-decisions-in-aerospace-organizations-robert-goehlich-9783834915306","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
