Two excellent resources on this. [1] A memo written by analysts at Boeing who were clearly pissed off about the outsourcing situation and how counterproductive it all was, and [2] an article about the cultural changes that took place at Boeing after the executives from McDonnell Douglas took over. https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/69746/hart-smith-on-outsourcing.pdf https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/6974... https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/11/how-boeing-lost-its-bearings/602188/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/11/how-boeing...
