> This month's dinner presenter is Mr. John Garvey, who will
> address the relevance of "the Innovator's Dilemma" to the
> emerging markets in launch services for very small
> spacecraft. As analyzed in the milestone book of the same
> name by Harvard Business School professor Clayton M.
> Christensen, the Innovator's Dilemma refers to conditions
> in which new technologies and innovations disrupt existing
> market structures, in the process causing major
> difficulties for established business leaders. The growing
> number of 1 kg "picosats" and 10 kg "nanosats" represent
> just such a potential shift in the space arena, with
> momentum building in particular for the CubeSat
> configuration standard pioneered by Stanford and Cal Poly
> San Luis Obispo.
