Abstract
The paper analyzes the company, Bombardier, Inc., and shows its complexity due to being composed of three divisions. The paper looks at the products that the company manufactures, mainly aircraft and rail cars and examines Bombardier, Inc.'s income levels and liabilities, which have fluctuated dramatically due the the fortunes of many of their customers. The future of the company is also discussed.

From the Paper
"Throughout the past Bombardier, Inc. has had a core interest in the business segments dealing with aerospace, transportation, and rail services through its three divisions. Of course over the past five years these divisions have changed due to a declining economy and industries with which many of their customers participate in have also suffered a decline. Therefore Bombardier, through no fault of its own has had to suffer along with many of its customers. A prime example of these situations, deal specifically with clients filing chapter 11 and reorganizing their business plans. One specifically was Atlantic Coast Airlines, Inc. who "changed its business plan from a code sharing.."

From the Paper
"In 2001, Bombardier relocated its rail transportation operations from Montreal, Canada, to Berlin, Germany. This was in response to the demand in Europe for extensive, fast rail networks. The rail division of Bombardier, Inc. is known as Bombardier Transportation and has a presence in more than 35 countries. It identifies itself as the world's rail equipment manufacturing and servicing industry. It offers "ingenious" rail solutions, according to the company's website, to both private and public enterprises ("About us: History," Bombardier, 2009).
"Switzerland is a small but centrally located nation. This makes it a vital hub of rail transport, as well as a popular destination for skiers. It also is a very diverse nation, despite its small size, encompassing individuals of French, German, and even Italian origins. The company has stations in Villeneuve, Winterthur, and of course Zurich ("Switzerland," Bombardier, 2009)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how while the Canadian aerospace company Bombardier proudly proclaims that it is a competitive, successful, and productive airplane manufacturer managed in accordance with sound operations management principles, a recent article in The Toronto Star indicates that problems with Bombardier built Q-400 turboprops are likely to undermine public, industry, and government confidence in the company (Toronto Star). The paper relates that the Star's reporting on the current controversy relating to Bombardier pertains to landing gear systems, but this company has been controversial for years because of questionable management decisions and poor business practices.

Abstract
This paper examines the Canadian company Bombardier. The author points out that Hadekel thoroughly examines many of the economic, political, business and labor issues, which effect Canadian society. The paper relates that this book discusses controversial issues that Canadian textbooks usually avoid.

From the Paper
From reading "Silent Partners: Taxpayers and the Bankrolling of Bombardier", it is evident that this book's content complements and expands upon our course studies, for the author thoroughly examines many of the economic, political, business, and labor issues that effect Canadian society. Silent Partners is fascinating, for it reveals many aspects of Canadian business and labor that our textbooks only touch briefly on or neglect to mention. Reading this book has been an interesting experience, due to the author's discussion of controversial issues that Canadian textbooks such as Morton's (1999) and Norrie's (1990) usually avoid.

"Introduction

One of the critical functions performed within a company is determining the need for future cash and possible sources of those needs. Such a projection requires that the company have a thorough understanding of its operations and its market prospects, as well as a clear understanding of its current financial position. Potential investors and others (including creditors and current shareholders) also have an interest in how the company is doing and where its future funds are coming from. For companies that are going through extreme growth, it is possible to grow faster than the financial structure can expand. For this reason, understanding the financial position of the company is critical to its long-term success. This research considers one multinational company, Bombardier, and its financial situation ..."

Abstract
This research paper presents a compelling theme, supports it with factual evidence and convincingly argues that Canadian taxpayer money should not be used by the government in Ottawa to rescue failing companies like Bombardier from the consequences of their own mismanagement. Tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer revenue is wasted when it is given by corrupt politicians to corrupt companies which continue to lose that revenue because of chronic mismanagement.

From the Paper
"Bombardier has abused millions of Canadian taxpayers by using their money to benefit Bombardier and only Bombardier. When Bombardier loses that money through incompetence and mismanagement, it expects the government to hand over more taxpayer money, but when Bombardier makes profits, it certainly hasn't shared that money with Canadian taxpayers."
