Defend your choice. At that time, Boeing’s major competitor Airbus also has a big project – Airbus 380 program which has a seating capacity between 525 and 853. This is a big threaten to Boeing. Meanwhile, Boeing wants to achieve several goals with innovation approach which are reduce cost, development time, and unique characters (fuel-saving, less time needed for maintenance, new technology). Boeing want to change the rules of the way large passenger aircraft were developed through its Dreamliner program.
The A380 made its first commercial flight in 2007. Capable of flying over 8000 nautical miles without refuelling, the A380 would be ideal for long-haul passengers and freight applications. By 2009, A380 production was several years behind its contracted delivery schedule and some airlines cancelled their orders. The survival and future success of Airbus, including the employment of 52,000 people at 16 sites in France, Germany, UK and Spain, depended critically on A380 meeting its sales targets over the medium and longer term. Airbus and Boeing focus on medium and long-haul jet aircraft with 100+ seats.

Case Study Analysis Boeing May 3, 2015 ORGB 2605 Group 5 Wendy McLeod - A00545182 Courtenay Anderson - A00665468 Ana Cielo Tanjuaquio - A00748789 Taylor Nicholson - A00839192 Contents * Overview * Symptoms and Evaluation of Key Factors * Statement of the Problem * Congruence Model * Star Model * Conclusion * Recommendations Overview As one of the highly regarded manufacturers of aircraft, we look into the problems that Boeing had to overcome in terms of implementing drastic changes within the company and the merger that dealt with integration issues. Symptoms and Evaluation of Key Factors * Loss of market share * Merging of two different cultures * No strategic plan as to how they were going to get to a certain goal. The focus was based on production and costs, “not on airy vision statements” * Low moral * Lack of faith by the community and stockholders * Lack of communication within the organization * Unprepared for the encroachment of Airbus into their market share Statement of the Problem Boeing was not strategically prepared for the market intrusion of Airbus, nor with trying amalgamate two different cultures, with the takeover of McDonnell Douglas. Analysis * not centralizing IT systems to be used * not developing an effective transitional plan with the purchase of McDonnell Douglas * lack of planning when doubling their production capabilities which resulted in a loss of 20 production days Congruence Model In reference to the congruence model we see Boeing, who had been a leader in the aeronautics industry, falter when they failed to keep strategically current in production and information systems as well as when faced with competition. With Airbus taking over market share Boeing reacted without forethought and without forming a strategic plan.
