Boeing is a company famous for their exceptionally popular 7-series commercial airplanes. Not only do they produce these large planes but they also design Integrated Defense Systems, missiles, satellites, launch vehicles, and a variety of communication systems. Having different departments that create very different products leaves the company vulnerable to failure by deadlines as well as unmotivated workers. All levels of management have their own separate duties and tasks to follow through with as well as motivate their employees to produce more efficiently to meet their set deadline.
