People warned about exactly what happened already back in the time when the merger happened that introduced beancounter culture to Boeing.
The problem was, as always, no one listens to the warners and the whiners when there is money to be made.
But it's such a massive clusterfuck for Boeing that it seems like MBA programs should be reformed from the ground up.
Highly optimized systems are fragile. They work well so long as everything stays the same. Optimizing for cost will compromise other things. Quality is not a varnish to be applied after you make something, it's designed into the product and production process from the beginning - by people who understand such things.
As if it wasn't the result of what has been taught for decades, now coming of age more bigly than ever ;)
>MBA programs should be reformed from the ground up.
Who would do the reforming though?
Academic leaders? That could be like having the inmates running the asylum :)
From the ground up?
If you're not careful they could end up building an insane new institution at a massive scale in an image grandiose enough that it could crush GE or something ;)
Okay, so it's functionally impossible with the current and likely next incoming US administration.
