The current research paper is purposed to evaluate the upcoming Urban Air Mobility trend as a logistics alternative for the modern organisation design, as industrial complexes are directing resources to the development of these concepts. Our qualitative analysis relies on secondary data, due to scarce information available. Starting with a descriptive analysis of the technological evolutions, the study undertakes a thorough market evaluation based on key criteria that are meant to determine if the efforts to initiate this new entrepreneurial avenue will be met by a successful adoption into organisational design. With technological and regulatory limitations in the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) segment, nearing a century of helicopter operations, it is unlikely that electrical flight aircraft will take charge of the skies above crowded cities anytime soon. Human error and technological failures still present a high risk to urban operations. The electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) concept has far greater potential, considering remote work and the adoption of the Work from Anywhere concept. This research effort aims to clarify aspects regarding eVTOL, probing the potential of a market that is to rely on this solution. This pragmatic approach is meant to define transition milestones, relying on current rules and regulations, as well on technological hurdles that are still to be overcome. By means of qualitative research and a thorough market evaluation, with a predictive analysis, this study reveals that organisations can now pivot their design to expand their workforce needs into wider regions, having the ability to fly their key employees into their offices periodically from the remote locations they opt to live in and/or work from. Including eVTOL aircraft into the employer branding strategy, business processes should be beneficial for organisations that wish to be looked at as pioneers by their workforce and targeted market.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
