ABSTRACT: This paper provides an overview of the current aerospace sector from an economic point of view, along with possible projections. An aerospace organization shows many different characteristics. These characteristics are selected, which form the basis for the development of follow-up studies about the make-or-buy decision process applied to aerospace organizations. The following characteristics of organizations that operate in the aviation and/or space sector are investigated in this study: market structure, products, contractor classification, industry size, or-ganizational architecture and performance. This paper was presented May 23, 2008, at the 18th International Conference of the International Trade and Finance Association, meeting at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal.
