...The Boeing Company The Boeing Company is an American multinational aerospace and defense corporation. Founded in 1916 by William E. Boeing in Seattle, Washington, the company has expanded over the years, and merged with McDonnell Douglas in 1997. Boeing is among the largest global aircraft manufacturers, and the third largest aerospace and defense contractor in the world based on defense-related revenue. The company is the largest exporter by value in the US, and its stock is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The exemplary behavior that the Boeing does is that Boeing is informally collaborating with leading Brazilian biofuels maker Tecbio, Aquaflow Bionomic of New Zealand and other fuel developers around the world. So far, Boeing has tested six fuels from these companies, and will probably have gone through 20 fuels "by the time we're done evaluating them." Air New Zealand and Boeing are researching the jatropha plant to see if it is a sustainable alternative to conventional fuel. A two-hour test flight using a 50–50 mixture of the new biofuel with Jet A-1 in the number one position Rolls Royce RB-211 engine of 747–400 ZK-NBS, was successfully completed on December 30, 2008. It benefits to both society and company that acted ethically. Boeing estimates that biofuels could reduce flight-related greenhouse-gas emissions by 60 to 80 percent. The solution would be blending algae fuels with existing jet fuel. Using biofuels rather than conventional fuel can reduce...

...“The Boeing Company’s Board of Directors Fires the CEO” Problems After reading the case, some questions are apparent. The questions are very helpful to find out Boeing’s Problems. * Why Boeing’s board fired the former CEO, Conduit, only due to the scandal happened in Conduit’s tenure? * Why Stonecipher could receive such high pension and benefits, even after retired and resigned? Is the payment method for the directors appropriate? * Why the board appointed James Bell, who was not a member of board or of any committees before the assignment, to serve as acting CEO after Stonecipher? Is there any formal succeeding plan for the CEO? * Why Boeing just fired Stonecipher but did nothing to that women executive? If the relationship was not the only reason for the resignation, what were the other reasons? Because that woman, Debra Peabody, worked in the company’s government-relations office? * Did Boeing treat its CEO’s resignation so careless, even the CEO brought obvious operating improvement during the short 15 months? * Why that informant could intercept the company’s CEO so easily? Is Boeing’s corporate security appropriate, especially Boeing was cooperating with Air Force? * Why the board made Stonecipher’s affair public while not private, even that relationships had no direct impact on the company’s performance? In conclusion, some problems that Boeing faced are as follows: First, Boeing was dependent on its main customer—Air Force so much...

... 31st (and a current market cap of more than $75B on 2013 May the 22th), BOEING is what we call a Gorilla in the global Aerospace and Defense Industry. Symbol of the US hegemony for many years, Boeing has confirmed its leadership in this industry. However, we know that the whole market just faced the subprime crisis of 2008, a fact that affected the growth and the excess return that the company was performing. This fact applies to the whole industry, and thus we believe that it is important to differentiate our company through its magnitude and sustainability of competitive advantages. One of their main competitive advantages is that the company has amazing benefits compare to their competitors since most of the government projects are contracted with Boeing. We...

The technical analysis consists of analysis of return on equity; the company’s projected future growth of earnings; an analysis of its required rate of return using the CAPM measurement; and the company’s intrinsic value using the discount valuation technique. The fundamental analysis consists of describing the competitive forces in the industry including the company’s relative advantages and disadvantages to its competitors and a discussion on ROE as the basis for growth. Based on the technical analysis, we find that Boeing’s stock is overpriced. Its intrinsic value is $13.39 in 2011, which is substantially less than its current price. But, our fundamental analysis shows that Boeing Company has not only greater earnings growth but also little more ability to grow than its competitor Lockheed Marin Corporation. The Boeing Company also has strong prospect for earnings growth in coming years. Based on the technical and fundamental analysis, we recommend hold. Background Boeing is the world’s leading aerospace company and the largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft...

...Starbucks case report Xiaoteng Gao, Xiao Liu, Ping Cai, Mengqiong He, Yuheng Chen 1. What factors accounted for the extraordinary success of Starbucks in the early 1990s? In the early 1982, the inspiring experience of Milan’s coffee culture and espresso bars’ role in Italians’ everyday social lives motivated Howard Schult to convince the company to set up an espresso bar in the corner of its shop which became the prototype for his long-term vision and also foreshadowed the success of Starbucks. After Schult taking over the company, he took all measures to take the company public by opening new stores, increasing the variety of coffee beverage, positioning the main customers, raising money and etc. He also tried his best to have created Starbucks’ experiential brand strategy and value in the process of the coffee drinking experience. In summary, we can conclude that the success of Starbucks in the early 1990’s can be attributed to Howard Schultz’s vision of the Starbucks brand which placed value in the process of the coffee drinking experience. And there are seven main factors accounting for the extraordinary success of Starbucks in the early 1990s as follows: a. Coffee itself: Starbucks kept full control of quality of its products to be the highest-quality coffee in the world by souring from qualified channels, controlling as much of the supply chain as possible, working directly with growers of origin to purchase green beans and overseeing the custom-roasting process...

...examines The Boeing Company (BA) strategic initiatives taken in relative to the organization and operation adaptation to the developing competitive environment. Boeing operates as a global company and facing tough competition recently from Airbus, Lockheed Martin, EADS, Northrop Grumman, etc. Politics, finance, economy, and resources (to name a few) impact the global market in which Boeing operates. As a result, Boeing needs to constantly evaluate its global strategy and the tactics it uses to capture the market and maintain growth. Economic Trends Recent global events, including regional political turmoil, natural disasters, and debt crises, have affected global economic growth. While global growth is expected to recover, the risk of persistent high oil prices and debt contagion could have lasting effects on the economy (The Boeing Company, n.d.). Economic growth also could be affected by slowing trade liberalization in some regions. Reduced liberalization could prolong the recovery period, affecting the demand for air travel and new airplanes. Though recent data indicates that the global economy continues to recover, the pace of the recovery in 2011 has moderated compared to 2010. High oil prices, natural disasters (Japan earthquake) and resulting consequences in a politically unrest Middle East area pose as primary threat to a continued economy recovery. China continues to grow and outpace the world DGP growth rate compared to United States, Europe and Japan (The Boeing Company...

...Boeing and its Management Planning Christopher Bayles MGT/330 October 2, 2011 Bill Escue Boeing is one of the biggest aviation companies in the world with relations to a number of different countries. They produce products for commercial and government use as well as have contracts with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Management planning is one of the primary key focuses to Boeing because of the size of its massive corporation. They create some of the top high-end equipment for medical, commercial, and government use. The primary workings of the company includes goods that aid in the carrying of cargo, people, and other equipment used by the government. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversees the operation of aircrafts for safety concerns. Because of the safety concerns, Boeing conducts very extensive planning to operate a well-organized and successful business. Planning includes precautionary needs for the future, figuring out the departments’ objectives, activities that could be of some concern to a company, and a company's techniques they will need to accomplish a successful result (Boeing, 2010).

...The Boeing Company, Part II Political The Boeing Company is very involved in the politics of the industry. Therefore, Boeing has a Government Operations office located near Washington D.C., and the office serves the company in three ways. One way is that they work with government officials and organizations to protect and advance the company's interests, competitiveness, and reputation. This is very important because as the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer, Boeing does not want to get surprised by a policy or rule that could hurt the company. In addition, another service is to win government contracts. Recently, Boeing won a contract with the U.S. Navy for an order of 20 P-8A airplanes for $2.5 billion (Smith, 2016). Due the location of the office, Boeing was able to secure this contract, as well as many others over the history of the company. Lastly, Boeing and the government works hard to shape public policy issues that impact the company. The office works with public officials across all levels of government, federal, state and local, to work with the government to be compliant. Boeing’s team also works with various third party organizations such as associations, public policy groups, and international organizations (Boeing, 2009). The effective income tax rates for 2014, 2013, 2012 were 23.7%, 26.4% and 34.0%, respectively. Boeing’s 2014 effective tax rate was lower than 2013 primarily due to tax benefits of $265 million related to tax basis adjustments and $259...
