#Boeing was an aerospace engineering firm that manufactured and sold airplanes. General Electric was an energy engineering firm that manufactured and sold energy and power products.
Both were transformed by the single minded focus on "shareholder value" and "production" over quality and innovation.
Jack Welch was a pox. McDonnell Douglas had a terrible reputation for quality because it was run by ex-GE finance people. The new CEO is the current COO. SSDD.

@Cosmichomicide Some one in the company pointed that guy to him.
