Industry analysis (1000-1200 words)
1 Definition of the industry
The aerospace industry is very specific in many ways. It includes both aeronautics and astronautics, which means that the possible applications are very variables: helicopters, private jets, airliners, military aircrafts, rockets, satellites, etc. We will see later that Snecma is implied in every last of these examples. Each of these fields implies very specific knowledge, researches, infrastructures, partnerships and so on. Aerospace and military applications are not concerned by the marketing as we learn it in a business school; it is much more about governments’ trades and secrets, counterparts, etc. But the other applications cited above are definitely concerned by the marketing. This is why this paper will be focused on the civil aeronautics (and on the engines manufacturing as it is Snecma’s market).
