It's also fair to say that if you let the marketers drive business decisions it's a recipe for disaster. Pushing low-quality product out the door just to hit some quarterly sales goal, that's what marketers will push. Epic failures with disastrous long-term consequences are the typical result (Boeing MAX for example).

- redis_mlc 5y agoActually, the 737 MAX disaster was driven from the business side. Somebody promised Southwest $1 million per airframe if differences training was needed. The organization was too brittle to accept criticism from their eng. organization, as most are, until a crisis.

- photochemsyn 5y agoMy understanding was that Boeing wanted to prevent Airbus from winning contracts and so pushed the schedule hard. That's the sales and marketing division talking isn't it?
- rchaud 5y agoAre you saying Boeing's engineering problems could have been avoided if they cut their ad budget?
