Abstract
This paper discusses the Boeing Company relative to its market as well as its own industry which is primarily the aerospace industry and defense contracting. Boeing is then examined through a SWOT analysis of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. These observations regarding its internal and external competitive attributes detail a company that is performing well and faces a promising market in the near to mid-term. The paper notes. however, that while Boeing has several internal human relations (HR) processes that engender motivation and independence to a degree within some components of its workforce, the company could benefit from a more empowered individual employee that would optimize Boeing's team structure and result in a more efficient, quality organization.

Abstract
This paper examines the financial condition and performance of the Boeing Company, a publicly held company for the year 2001. Annual reports filed by Boeing in accordance with the General Accepted Accounting Principles and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations serve as primary data sources. Industry average financial ratios, outlook, and data are used to gauge Boeing's financial status. Recommendations are presented based upon analysis, generally accepted management practice and research.

From the Paper
"The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center caused a major negative economic effect throughout the United States and the world. Airlines were severely impacted do to a sudden and huge drop in passengers (Siegel, M., p. 551). Air travel has still not fully recovered from this catastrophic event. The resultant drop in commercial jet orders has hurt Boeing (Friedman, p 13). In the third quarter of 2001, Boeing experienced a 46% decrease in orders compared to 2000 (Friedman, p. 19). The commercial aircraft segment accounted for about 60% of Boeings revenues before September 11 (Standard & Poor s, 2002, p. 2). Deliveries for aircraft are expected to be 380 for 2002 vs.527 in 2001 (Siegel, M., p. 551). As reported in the 2001 Consolidated Statement of Operations, Boeing recorded a $935 million charge for special charges due to events of September 11, 2001 (Boeing, p. 35). "

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and career of William Edward Boeing. According to this paper, Boeing did not succeed in graduating Yale University. Despite this, he made a huge impact and engineering contribution to the world of aviation.

From the Paper
"William Edward Boeing was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1881, the son of wealthy immigrant parents. He went to school at the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale University, where he studied engineering. However, he only spent two years there, and left without graduating. Despite this, he would go on to make an enormous engineering contribution to the world, in the aviation field. (Nelson & Nelson, 1999) Boeing began his working life in the lumber industry, and then moved into boat building by buying a shipyard in Seattle. Boeing was at the impressionable age of 22 when Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved the first airplane flight. Seven years later, in 1910, Boeing attended an air show and became interested in aviation. Shortly thereafter, he befriended a man named Conrad Westervelt, who knew how to design and build boats."

Abstract
This paper examines how the needs of commercial aviation is continually changing and how, with the desire to grow the manufacturing business, Boeing is continually downsizing and reorganizing, with an optimum goal to yield a highly efficient manufacturing process. It examines how senior managers have faced the challenge by defining four new strategies to lead the company toward this endeavor in the form of goal setting.

From the Paper
"Prior to production of the Boeing 777, manufacturing at Boeing was decentralized and non-conducive to information sharing. Production in many areas of design, manufacturing and assembly operations were highly inefficient by virtue of time loss and duplicity; most of which was experienced by engineers who design, prototype, and test airline systems utilizing more than 800 independent computer systems, all of which spoke variations of the same architectural lingo "airplane." The problem was clear to see; the efficiency of communications solutions represented the difference between profits and losses."

Abstract
This paper deals with the background and decision making process for the development of the Boeing 777. The demand and innovations of the 777 are further discussed. The majority of the paper uses net present value (NPV) and the weighted average cost of capital to determine if the 777 project added value to Boeing.

From the Paper
"The Boeing 777 program was launched in October 1990 with Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Frank Shrontz, at the helm. It all started with an order from United Airlines, and in June of 1995, United flew its first 777 in revenue service. The market's demand for size, shaped and launched the newest member of the Boeing twin-aisle family -- the 777. The airplane design offered features, innovations, and approaches to airplane development that set the standard for delivering value to the airlines."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the dispute between the two largest aircraft manufacturers, Boeing and Airbus. The paper further explains the significance of this case at length. The roles of competition and of government subsidies are also examined.

From the Paper
"According to an item published online by the Christian Science Monitor, government support and subsidies to Boeing and Airbus, which are the only two large commercial aircraft manufacturers in the world have been contentious for a number of years. The European Union and the United States reached a bilateral agreement in that established specific limits on subsidies. The United States abrogated the Agreement unilaterally on October claiming that the subsidies offered to Airbus amounted to unfair competition..."
