From the Paper:

"In the past few years, competition among companies conducting business in the international business sector has increased dramatically, forcing many international companies to reexamine and reform their management styles. As a result of this increased competitive environment, several management concepts and theories have emerged as a significant factor attributable to the success or failure of a company. An international company demonstrable of this type of success as a result of their management concepts is Boeing. Boeing is the world's leading aerospace company and the largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft combined, with capabilities in rotorcraft, electronic and defense systems, missiles, satellites, launch vehicles and advanced information and communication systems (Boeing, 2006)."
