Extract

In the current issue of Jane's All the World's Aircraft, J. W. R. Taylor states that ‘It would be pleasing to see in the development of programmes like Airbus and Tornado the seeds of increasingly successful European collaboration in the aerospace business … ‘

The Management Studies Group of the Royal Aeronautical Society have, for many years, been concerned with improving the effectiveness of the aerospace industry, and saw in European collaboration great opportunities as well as problems to be overcome. It was felt that the time was right for a review which could indicate the way forward, and identify the best growing conditions for the seeds of successful European collaboration.

This paper was commissioned by the Management Studies Group to review published papers for quantitative data in order to help set the scene for the talks and discussion to follow.
