From the Paper:

"Competing in commercial and military aviation, space and communications systems industries, Airbus and Boeing are two of the largest and most technologically advanced companies competing in these markets. At the center of Airbus' business model is a reliance on operations across 160 international locations including Research & Development (R&D) and manufacturing centers in France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain. In addition, Airbus operates subsidiaries in North American, China and Japan. Airbus heavily relies on an engineer-to-order strategy for synchronizing its supply chain and demand management systems (Irwin, Pavcnik, 2004). Relying on a high degree of process integration in its single-aisle (A318, A319, A320, and A321) and wide-body (A300, A310, A330, A340) commercial jets, Airbus takes a more consortium-oriented approach to product development."
