波音陨落的根源是MBA当家,而不是工程师当家
最近nVidia黄仁勋的例子,就说明只有工程师当家,公司才有远大理想。MBA当家,天天就是看数字,根本不晓得如何制造,如何创新。
波音的问题来自他们2005年的CEO,见下。

2005-2015
On June 30, 2005, Boeing hired McNerney as the chairman, President, and CEO. McNerney oversaw the strategic direction of the Chicago-based aerospace company with a focus on spending controls.
As Boeing's first CEO without a background in aviation, he made the decision to upgrade the 737 series to 737 MAX instead of developing a new model.[5][11]
这个人是决定把波音制造厂开始从西雅图搬到南卡。只有MBA才只看到工人工资问题,而看不到几代工人积累起来的institution knoweldge。现在的波音已经不是当年的波音了,总部从西雅图搬到芝加哥,制造从西雅图搬到南卡。

CEO 2015-2019
这个人工程师出身,但是出了事做了替罪羊,其实问题都是前任铺垫的。
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Calhoun 又是一个会计出身的CEO,2020年上任,波音翻身在他任下很难。
Calhoun was born April 18, 1957, in Philadelphia[5] and grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He attended Parkland High School in South Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania, graduating in 1975. In high school, Calhoun was one of three captains of the varsity basketball team and played golf.[6] He attended Virginia Tech, graduating in 1979 with a degree in accounting.
