Space X: why it's good to have a competitor

​​Published on 18/06/2024

While competition has its reasons, they don't seem to apply to Elon Musk. The founder of Space X has relegated his competitors so far behind that it's doubtful they are still… competitors. And yet, his huge company is thriving! Even though it's almost alone, it's still taking off. One may wonder - what's the point of ​having a competitor? Is it necessary to have competitors to prosper?

To find out, Kevin Erkeletyan called on a man with his feet firmly on the ground: Emmanuel Combe. Professor of economics at SKEMA Business School and former vice-chairman of the French Competition Authority, he takes us on a journey through the many realities of this concept that we think we know, but which we never finished exploring. From Schumpeter to the airline industry and electric vehicles, the Space X rocket led by Emmanuel Combe challenges our knowledge of the competition.

​"Makes Sense?" is a podcast from SKEMA Business School, presented by Kevin Erkeletyan. ​
