Antrix is the marketing arm of the Indian government space agency. The company slowly established a track record for technical capability in the manufacture and launch of satellites, apart from supplying remote sensing data from its own satellites, for international clients. Seeing opportunities in the global commercial space industry, the company decided to set market share goals to pursue the segments of satellite manufacturing, satellite services and launch services globally. However, as a government-owned company that relies on a network of other government agencies for its manufacturing and services, it is not clear that the company has either picked its segments and goals carefully, or whether it has the organizational capabilities to deliver on its ambitions. The Managing Director is faced with the challenge of aligning organizational capabilities to take advantage of global opportunities.
