Boeing Case Analysis including SWOT Analysis, Internal External Matrix, and much more.

Overview

William Boeing founded the Boeing Company in 1916 in Puget Sound, Washington. William had modest goals as a young Yale engineering graduate, first making it big in the timber industry. When the Wright bothers showed the world the idea of flight, William was intrigued. He then decided that it was time that he should enter into the field of aviation.

Boeing and his friend Conrad Westervelt teamed up to create a more practical plane after witnessing the Wright brother's creation and further advances. Their first plane was a twin-float seaplane, aptly named the B & W, after their initials. Boeing's company had its big break when the United States joined World War II. His company became one of the main manufacturer's for the military's aircraft division. The Boeing Company continued to be a major military plane supplier and then went into the civilian aircraft division. Through these successes, Boeing grew into the company that it is today.
