1. Select one or more diagnostic models that you believe provide a framework that succinctly identifies the key factors at the center of the Boeing situation. Explain your choice of model.
According to the case study Boeing, the six-box organizational model provides a framework that succinctly identifies the key factors at the center of the Boeing situation. I have chosen this tool because it can be used for every company to combine bits of data, theories, research, and hunches into a working tool. This organizational model is based on six variables, which are: purpose, structure, rewards, helpful mechanism, relationships, and leadership. The Six-Box framework would help identify issues at Boeing because one of the main causes of Boeing’s failures was the process of automating the production line when adopting the principles of lean manufacturing and aiming to rejuvenate the company’s reputation by making their production more efficient. It was a struggle for Boeing.
2. Explain the Boeing situation in terms of your selected model.
The first factor in the Six-Box model is the purpose, which refers to the company’s chosen route to competitive success, and also means what business we are in. In the case, with the 1994 Airbus grow up sharply which is the main competitors for Boeing, and with the 1997 merger of McDonnell Douglas to double their production capabilities, trend to the Boeing loss the competitive advantage since the manufacturing crisis ensued and Boeing’s reputation took a dramatic turn for the
worse when they were required to halt the production. The second one of six box model is the structure. In my opinion, the structure of Boeing is not clear, for example, after Boeing merger McDonnell Douglas, the company does not clearly define the future of the major markets. Boeing just acquired McDonnell Douglas to increase its defense contract since it needed more stability occurred, but the company did not give a clearly target market. The next
