Abstract

Against the background of significant changes such as increased air traffic, fierce international competition as well as the radically changing political, technological and environmental conditions, the aviation industry keeps looking for product, process and business model innovations. As a result, the importance of efficient innovation management is growing rapidly. This paper discusses specific innovation methods which can be assigned to three cooperation fields: supplier, customer and in-house. The research project ascertains their particular implementation level in the aviation industry. The results are presented in this paper. One of the findings is the critical importance of Big Data as an explicit in-house innovation method. Its growing significance is a result of the enormous data volume increase, which is an exceptional challenge for the industry, nowadays and in the future. Consequently, a concept for a reference architecture is presented in this paper which will enable the aviation industry to cope with the challenges.
