Management at Boeing

Boeing is best known as a commercial aircraft manufacturer but the Boeing management structure encompasses a huge aerospace and defence corporation. Innovation is an important part of the Boeing business model. The company's jumbo jets are marvels of Boeing innovation management and their components and manufacture have also led to many contributory inventions. Technology also plays a key role in Boeing strategy and Bill Gates has in the past praised the organisation for its use of IT. However, there are some notable examples of problems with Boeing management planning. For instance, Boeing found it very difficult to keep up with demand for airline orders at the end of the 1990s, as salesmen had overloaded the system (excerpted from http://www.thinkingmanagers.com/companies/boeing.php).

The following overview is for one of the article attached, which would be helpful to read now, as it could be used as an outline for your paper (Boeing Management Plannin1.docx) and the rest of the information can fit into this outline.

Overview: This paper will discuss management's business planning at Boeing. Boeing is an aerospace company, a leading maker of commercial airplanes, military aircraft, satellites, and missiles. Business planning at Boeing is a very complicated process because it is influenced by internal and external factors that would involve legal ethical issues, and corporate social responsibility. Factors such as economic conditions, laws, and competition directly influence the strategic, tactical, operational, and contingency planning. Boeing has been able to maintain success for many years due to their strong ethics and planning abilities.
