Boeing's Troubles and Cultural Failings

Boeing's issues go beyond the 737 MAX crisis, with a history of failures and cultural problems. The company's focus on short-term profits and shareholder interests has cost them dearly. From the McDonnell Douglas merger to the recent 737 MAX problems, Boeing has struggled to stay competitive and innovative. The company's lack of success in military contracts and quality issues in commercial planes have further affected its reputation. Boeing's road to recovery will require addressing these cultural failings and regaining credibility with regulators and customers.
