Boeing is among the most reputable airplane manufacturing companies, and it makes the planes for airlines as well as for military purposes all over the world. The organization has been able to climb the corporate ladder by striving to fulfill customer requirements. The reason behind Boeing’s success is designing and constructing tailor-made planes depending on their intended purpose. Therefore, this paper analyzes the various roles played by Boeing, and how they influence management planning in the organization. The roles include ethical responsibility, legal responsibility, social responsibility, and other strategic and operational roles. Ethical Responsibility Boeing regulates the behavior of its employees regardless of their location through a set of rules. The organization’s ethics states that employees should never share information of a given client with another party. This implies that the details provided by customers must remain confidential. Besides, the company should remain neutral at all times. Wilson and Gilligan (2005) argue that such ethics influence the management practices because regardless of the strategies that are to be implemented, the organization must adhere to the set code of ethics. The work ethics in this organization sets the limits of employees’ aggression; hence employees are under obligation to put the interests of the organization before theirs. Moreover, the code of ethics creates barriers between employees and the customers of this organization. Likewise, the ethics apply to all the entities that interact with Boeing including suppliers and outsourced workers. However, shared ethics may create conflicts because the firms that have been contracted by Boeing have their own code of ethics. According to Alexander (2008), the clash in ethics may affect operations negatively because what could be right to Boeing could be wrong to another contracted firm. For instance, Korean Air, a supplier of Boeing 747-8 wing part, has different code of ethics that are restricted to the Korean culture, hence conflicts may arise. Therefore, Boeing is sensitizing its staff through training sessions to make sure that they understand the ethics better. Legal Responsibility Boeing is active in legal responsibility. This has been achieved through active participation in cleanliness programs that involve its employees. Boeing is on the frontline in creating awareness on the effects of carbon emissions, and because most of its goods are known to be powered by substances that emit carbon, it has come up with innovative technologies of minimizing the amount of carbon emitted from its engines. Likewise, Boeing has been recycling its waste as an affirmative action towards sustainable development. This includes injecting a considerable amount of money into environment conservation projects, such as designing energy efficient airplanes. According to Alexander (2008), recycling of waste influences management planning because Boeing now has to take care of its waste, and this means that more resources will have to be set aside for this purpose. This was a task that was previously undertaken by another entity, but now Boeing has no option because it is against the expectations of the society for an organization to pollute the environment. Moreover, the law is against the disposal of toxic waste into the environment. Therefore, Boeing designates funds at the commencement of every financial year for waste management purposes. In compliance to the requirements of protecting the environment, Boeing has had to introduce new technologies as a way of
