Based in Blanca, France, near Toulouse and with significant activity across Europe, the company produces most half of the worlds jet airliners.Airbus In dustry began as a consortium of European aviation firms to postulate with American companies much(prenominal) as Boeing. Airbus Industries were formally established on 18 December 1970. It had been formed by a government initiative amidst France, Germany and the UK that originated in 1967. In the commercial airline business Boeing operates in a duopoly with Airbus. Airbus has been the largest producer of large commercial jetliners for many years, but Boeing has been growing ground since recent problems at Airbus, especially the 2005-6 capacious production delay for the A380.The delay gave Boeing a large advantage in the foodstuff for wide corpse aircrafts which include Boeings successful 747, 777, and 787 models. Although the Boeing has pushed back the branch outflow and delivery of the 787, the Airbus 380 delays leave been far more substantial. Still, even with Airbus problems, the race is far from over and competition body intense between the two companies. In February 2007, the U. S. Air hurl awarded a controversial $35 zillion air refueling tanker contract to enemy Northrop Grumman (NOG) that was widely expected to go to Boeing.During March of 2007, Boeing had filed a formal appeal a dost the deal with the Government counterbalanceeousness Office. In June of 2008, the GAO sustained Boeings appeal against the Air Force and effectively reopened the contract for bidding. As of August, Boeing is currently requesting an cite past the October 1st deadline in order to falsify its design to meet the governments new specifications. Airbus employs around 52,000 people at sixteen sites in four European Union countries Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Spain. In this tabul recrudesce I allow show you approximately statistic about Boeing and Airbus Industrie Company 1994 Sales in $m 1994 network in $m Market Share % Boeing 16,851 1,022 62 Airbus Industrie 8,000 N/A 24 Company receipts orders Cancellations Net orders Boeing 120 46 74 Ai rbus Industrie one hundred twenty-five 54 71 SWOT SWOT psychoanalysis of Boeing Company is defined as a material apply extensively for an assessment of the internal as well as external business environment as a part of the strategical or corporate planning process. The framework is including the firms strengths & weaknesses as part of internal environment assessment and opportunities & threats as part of the external environment assessment that aids strategic decision making which may include macroeconomic matters, technological change, legislation, and socio-cultural Changes, as well as changes in the marketplace or competitive position. Strengths Weaknesses Workforces and planning termination Innovation wish of technological innovations Management system Threats of Substitute Products or Services Leadership contender of trains Knowledge Affect of technology development super Skilled Managers Provide global customer support Outsourcing High quality of pr oducts good services Threats Opportunities contest Market developments Trade Barriers Competitors vulnerabilities De command of Airlines Industry or lifestyle trends Threats of Substitute Products or Services technology development and innovation Global influences threat of the Airbus knowledge and research Lack of planning New aircraft to gain market share Increase demand for point to point routes Strengths 1- Workforces and planning Boing has trimmed its workforce to the borderline and it has plans to further cut 7000 jobs and has completed family of planes from the small 737 to the worlds largest letter carrier the 747 which allows it to serve any airline in any category. 2- Innovations boing has innovated in many areas and has a very fuddled technological position it is well established. 3- Management system It has improved its inventory management systems. 4- Leadership It fluid has a leadership position in the exertion. 5- super Skilled Manager The operation of the company lead run smoothly.The performance of the company lead improve and would lead the company to be successful. 6- Provide global customer support it would serve the customers collapse and it would be very convenient to those customers in other countries to wonder for help. This would help the company to gain a break out image due to the provided services to help the customers. 7- Outsourcing It can save time for the company to manufacture or assembly its products. 8- High quality of products Emphasizing the product quality to ensure that the durability of the company is durable for long period of time. 9- Provide Good services. . Weaknesses 1. personnel casualty balance sheet and income statement point to some weaknesses.R spending of $1,661 million, around 8% of sales is alternatively low for this industry. Its long term debt is also change magnitude and its overall return on common law is around 8. 9%, below the average industry rate which is 13. 1%. This, associated with its declining defense tax incomes, may define its access to additional capital in generation of crisis. 2. Threats of Substitute Products or Services for example people dont use planes to travel they pull up stakes use train and other way. 3. Competition of trains Customers run away from aircraft to trains because of its services. Threats Implications 1. Competitor The competitor might have the best them and the threat is increasing the competitors market share. 2.Trade Barriers They may encounter difficulties in the regulation regarding aircraft impose by the country to which they export their products to. 3. Deregulation of Airlines The regulation of the company for its customers would compromise in order to gain favor of the customers. 4. Threat of the Airbus because Airbus is the life-size competitor for Boeing Company. 5. Lack of planning. Opportunities New aircraft to gain market share with the expansive show of Airbus A380 recently, Boeing also plans to release its powerful weapon in the competition with Airbus. The new version Boeing 787 which inherits the most advanced technologies and advantages of the previous models is hoped to be a big hit to the airline industries.At the moment, Boeing has received a number of orders for Boeing 787- Dream liner and this opportunity actually shows that Boeing legato insists on its successful business strategy to build longer-range, more capable, smaller aircraft that could go point-to-point and therefore, serve urban center pairs directly rather than having to hook them up through a hub. The new 787 is the proof that Boeing does not retardation behind the competition. THE STRATEGY The problems that the company portrayd are 1. Unwinnable competition, which is wasteful. 2. Design and engineering problem. 3. Poor cost control. The causes of problems are 1. Poor engineering expertise. 2. Poor market research. 3. employ wrong strategies. Action planning 1. Merge to companies 2. bu y the farm good engineer (work with university). 3. Get good marketers. 4. Do comprehensive. 5. Marketing research. 6. Restructure. 7. Use cooperative strategies. 8. Improve design and R. 9. Make the right aircraft. 10. Cost leadership.There are many problems that come from the using of wrong strategies, slimy engineering expertise and low-down selling research. The basic problems are unwinnable competition which is wasteful, design and engineering problem and poor cost control. Boeing Company uses poor engineering and poor design that actually will meet the temperament of the working of company. Boeing Company is unwinnable competition because their competitors have high quality management and good services better than them so, customers p rear to deal with their competitors. It has also problem with marketing research. However, good marketing research can help company to know strength and weakness of their competitors and to know how to improve their works and to be able to f ace new technologies.Boeing Company has poor cost control that will lead to lose their money and the pelf will be low. There are many actions that the company should follow to overcome any problems such as get good engineers who graduated from university and have high qualification and experience. Boeing Company has to restructure its strategies and use cooperative strategy. Also, if it merges with companies, get good marketers, do comprehensive, marketing research, improve design and R and make the right aircraft, it will achieve competitive advantage and maximize the profit. Alternative strategy Cost leadership, it focuses in change magnitude the cost and price.It is a good strategy for the company, if it follows this strategy, it will be more successful and it will subvert its economic costs. Also, this strategy will help company to develop and grow very fast.

Technology Refers to technology-induced changes that have altered the way firms undertake & machinate their international activities. Transportation and communication technologies firms able to source R and back office processing. Technology is used in many of life fields. First, we use technology in the process of manufacturing and that through buying effecti ve and modern machines and equipment. Second, we also use it in design techniques and in management of our company through using computers and other tools of technology.Third, technology provides us with some ways in marketing and advertising via TV, Internet and others tools. Technology influences the company in terms of investment in technology, consistent application of technology and the effects of technology on markets. Emergent technologies have a big Impact on company. It can speed up the work in the company so it can apply all the orders. Also, the internet has its own impacts which are reducing communications costs and increasing remote working. (Reference http//en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Boeing) Competitive forces A competitive force refers to the pressures oblige by other firms in competing industries.Boeing company go about strong competitive from Airbus Company because these two company work in same field. These two companies compete in price, service and product. visib le and natural forces Physical and natural forces refer to environmental pressures and risks that influence international business strategy. These forces divided to two types. First, natural risks arise from environmental disasters (e. g. earthquakes). Second, Manufactured risks are environmental risks created by human intervention pollution, threat to eco-systems, climate change, inherited modification, and terrorism. This factor can effect in Boeing company very clear. CONCLUSION In conclusion, I am going to summarize the points that I have talked about in my report.First, background of Boeing Company which is a major(ip) aerospace and Defense Corporation, founded by William E. Boeing in Washington its international headquarters has been in Chicago since 2001 and its mission, vision and objectives. Second, I have canvass their competitor which is Airbus and it is the biggest its competitor. Airbus is one of the worlds leading aircraft manufacturers and it consistently captures approximately half or more of all orders for airliners with more than 100 seats. Third, I analyzed its internal and external environment factors which are referred to SWOT. Fourth, I have talked about the strategy which includes problems, causes and action plan of the company.Boeing Company has to restructure its strategies and use cooperative strategy instead. I recommend Boeing Company to merge with companies, get good marketers, do comprehensive, marketing research, improve design and R&D and make the right Aircraft it will achieve competitive advantage and maximize the profit. Finally, I have talked about the term PEST which stands for the Political, Economic, Social, and Technological issues that could affect the strategic development of a business. recommendation In fact, Boeing Company is a popular company in the world, but there are several(prenominal) forces and challenge which face it and make it in a bad situation. So I explained them in my assignment.Therefore, I recomm end this company to develop their abilities such as employees skills, investment, competitive advantage, consumer relationship management and advertising. In my opinions, I think Boeing Company can develop their employees skills through training. Also, I should invest in rich countries which pay more money to increase the profitability to company. A good idea to the company creating new and develop aircraft to unique it from other companies. Finally, I think if Boeing Company does good advertising that adequacy for it to monopoly aircraft manufactured over the world.
