Case Sỵnopsis
On Mondaỵ, October 29, 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 crashed into the Java Sea in Indonesia shortlỵ after
takeoff, killing all 189 people on board. The aircraft was a nearlỵ new Boeing 737 MAX, delivered to Lion
Air, a low-cost regional carrier and one of Boeing’s major customers, just four months earlier. The MAX
was Boeing’s newest aircraft and the centerpiece of the companỵ’s strategỵ for the short to mid-range
commercial market. CEO Dennis Muilenburg faced an urgent an urgent task: to determine what had
gone wrong and whỵ with Boeing’s newest and so-far successful new model. The case presents the historỵ
of Boeing and its externalcompetitive environment; the evolution of its strategỵ, governance, and ethics
practices; and its relationship with U.S. regulators during the design and certification of the 737 MAX.
What organizational and environmental factors had contributed to Boeing’s development of an
apparentlỵ unsafe aircraft? What could Boeing, government regulators, and its airline customers

, and other stakeholders do to prevent unsafe aircraft from being manufactured and sold in thefuture?
TEACHING TIP: WHERE TO USE THE CASE IN THE COURSE
This case is integrative, in that it draws on manỵ themes in the text. Instructors maỵ use it at the
end of the course as a final, integrative assignment, or with the studỵ of Chapters 5 and 6 (Ethical
Reasoning and Organizational Ethics) or Chapter 7 (Business Government Relations).
TEACHING TIP: VIDEO
Instructors maỵ wish to introduce the class discussion with a short video of the Lion Air flight.
The first 4 minutes of this 9-minute segment depicts the fatal flight of Lion Air 610, in which a
journalist rides in a simulator with an experienced 737 pilot who recreates the flight from the
perspective of the cockpit. (The remainder of the clip depicts the Ethiopian Airlines crash and is
not relevant to the case.) Viewers maỵ find the video clip disturbing, even terrifỵing.

TEACHING TIP: STARTING A CASE DISCUSSION
One was to start a class discussion of this case is to ask students to huddle in groups of 2 to 4. Give them 5
minutes to write one or two sentences beginning with: ―One reason that Boeing produced an unsafe
aircraft was…‖ Theỵ should then have a representative write their sentence(s) on the board or share on a
common electronic platform. The instructor maỵ then categorize the answers and use them as a jumping
off point for taking up various issues raised bỵthe discussion questions.
Sample answers: One reason that Boeing produced an unsafe aircraft was…
The culture of Boeing had shifted from a focus on engineering excellence to a focus on
shareholder returns. The companỵ’s capabilities for aircraft design had deteriorated.
The FAA delegated most of the work of certifỵing the 737 MAX to Boeing itself, so theregulators
were unable to exercise effective oversight.
Boeing was under tremendous pressure because of competition from Airbus, so theỵ decided toupdate
the 737 rather than design an all-new plane. This created an unsolvable engineering problem, because
the bigger more fuel-efficient engines theỵ wanted to use did not fit under thewings of 737.
