Boeing's problems began when they bought MacDonnell-Douglas and as part of the deal agreed to appoint McD-D board members to run the combined company. Prior to that, Boeing had been engineering-focussed from the top down. McD-D were profit focussed and the smelly stuff started sticking badly when they moved head office from Seattle to Chicago so the C-Suite were no longer in touch with the daily problems.
