William Boeing became fascinated with planes after flying in a hydroplane over Lake Washington in 1914. Boeing and his close friend, Conrad Westervelt, decided they could build a better plane after a few more sessions. A small building housed the first design of the Boeing plane and on June 15, 1916 the B&W Model 1 was born. Now, Boeing is the largest aircraft company in the world.…
The Boeing Corporation, originally Pacific Aero Products Company, was established in 1916 in the Washington Puget Sound region. The company was originally incorporated to build aircraft, air mail delivery, and pilot training, but was broken up by the government in 1934 creating United Airlines and Boeing Aircraft Company. During the first 97 years the company expanded through strategic mergers and acquisitions of storied aerospace pioneering companies into the $81.7 billion dollar company it is today. Many of the companies are household names with the older generations: North American Aviation, McDonnell Douglas, Rockwell International, Hughes Space & Communications, and Jeppesen. Through these expansions, Boeing has become the world’s largest and most diversified player in the aerospace and defense industry. Ranked in the top of U.S. exporters, Boeing supports airlines as well as the U.S. and allied government customers in 150 countries. The company is divided into two major business units supported by nine corporate functions. The two business units are Commercial Airplanes (60%) and Defense, Space & Security.…

Boeing is an aerospace cooperation that has been around since 1916. William E. Boeing, and a former U.S. Navy officer named Conrad Westervelt discovered the cooperation. They started out with a two seated single-engine seaplane called B&W. About a year later, the company was known as the Boeing Airplane Company. During the 1920 through the 1930s, the company sold several types of planes and their patrol bombers to the United States military. Around 1928 Boeing Airplane & Transport Corporation was established. Boeing is recognized as one of the largest global aircraft manufacturers in the world. They come in second as possessing the largest aerospace and defense contract. They are well-known for two of their commercial flights such as the 777 and 787. Boeing cooperation needs to enhance their working capital policy to ensure continues growth and success. Team B will discuss our recommendation by providing three working capital policy strategies, such as the aggressive approach, matching approach, and the conservative approach to the cooperation for their approval. We will create a pro forma budget to define the working capital budget and financial recommendations for the next five years.…
During the 1996-2000 period, Europe-based Airbus boosted its global market share in the over-100-seat airplane market from 21 percent to nearly 50 percent (Matlack et al., 2001). The March 6, 2001 issue of The Wall Street Journal reported (Michaels, 2001): From its base in France, Airbus has eaten steadily into the home market of U.S. aerospace icon Boeing Co. over the past decade, and it hopes to keep biting off market share. Today, almost 10 percent of the big commercial jets flying around the U.S.…
Boeing acquired this efficient aerospace technology through companies like Rockwell and McDonnell Douglas. They thus increased the number of contracts in the defense aircraft industry and now stood a better chance in the market. Boeing had to eliminate wastage and step up efficiency to cut unnecessary costs. So the procedures of parts ordering and scheduling were reshuffled. Additional proficient inventory management was necessary. The manufacturing process experienced a major change and there was less production delays than before which not only helped in keeping an efficient flow when it came to their supply chain but also helped in better customer service which of course helped them hold on to crucial market share. Gaining market share of course hugely elevated their problems of losing customers or market share to Airbus (who in order to turn away customers from Boeing had initially adopted the strategy to lower prices of their products). Of course the customers were airline companies. Boeing’s success depended directly on the success of those airline companies.…
The Boeing Company is the world’s largest aerospace company and a leading producer of commercial aircrafts and defense, space and security systems. It was founded in 1916 by William E. Boeing in Seattle Washington. In 1997, the company merged with McDonnell Douglas and moved its corporate headquarters from Seattle to Chicago, Illinois. Boeing is comprised of multiple business units which act as independent businesses within the corporation. These units include: Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Boeing Defense, Space & Security, Engineering, Operations & Technology, Boeing Capital, and Boeing Shared Services Group.…
Since the First Flight of Wright brothers back in 1903 no one could ever imagine how fast the aviation industry would change and new innovations will be made with in the next decades to come. Over the past decades, innovation has totally changed the face of aviation industry and Boeing is one of the main stakeholders in this race today. Boeing has been in the production of commercial jetliners for more than 40 years and since its merger with McDonnell Douglas in 1997, it has gained a 70 year heritage in the leadership of commercial aviation. In this report we will discuss how effectively Boeing has mastered the art of implementing an effective innovative strategy and managed its new and intriguing discoveries to make the world of aviation faster, slicker and most importantly efficient. Furthermore, the report will in depth analyze how Boeing has protected its innovations and devised an efficient intellectual property strategy…
