Management Planning

Management Planning Paper

In order to effectively achieve the goals set forth by an organization, regardless of its size, detailed and decisive planning must be completed to ensure that all angles are covered. Outlining alternative actions should also be made to ensure that each goal will be attained. In addition, the resources required to reach the goal(s) and any obstacles that may develop should also be considered. In doing so, will guarantee the achievement of each goal even if or when the plan(s) originally set, fail. To prove the statements made above, I will analyze Boeing, an aerospace company that manufacturer’s commercial jetliners and military aircraft combined, by explaining their levels of planning and how legal, ethical, and social responsibilities impact their planning.

Legal responsibility within a corporate business atmosphere can be summed up as, to follow local, state, federal, and any international laws that are pertinent. This essentially means that an organization is charged with the trust and duty, for being responsibility to maintain its business lawfully. Boeing’s legal responsibility does not only cover the commercial sector but a military sector as well. Presently, one of the many contracts that Boeing has in the military sector is with the United States Army in which Boeing was awarded. This contract entails that Boeing is to provide the army with both new and remanufactured CH-47F/Chinook helicopters, due to be delivered sometime within this year. Boeing’s legal responsibility in this situation was to ensure that the United States government is provided the newest in technology available for a particular aircraft. The legal responsibility in relation to the military sector is very critical since some aircraft parts on an aircraft can be classified. If these parts fall into the wrong hands the company can be held responsible for the breach of classified parts. In addition, this could be crucial to homeland security.

As ethics or values vary from person to person on an individual basis in which decisions are evaluated as morally right or wrong. This concept also is how ethics work within the world of business but on a much larger scale, moral decisions are based on the well being of both local and global levels. In lieu of the rising costs and diminishing resources of oil as well as the environmental concerns of the long-term effects of carbon dioxide, Boeing has committed itself to the exploration of Alternative Fuels for use in Commercial Aircraft.
