Boeings 737 Max was grounded after being involved in two crashes where all on board were killed. The reasons for the crash are known to be flaws in the airplanes design. Although Boeing now accepts the existence of these flaws and their role in the crashes this was not always the case.

The Task

You are to create a presentation discussing from an organizational behavior perspective:

• The influences on Boeings design decisions and sale of the 737 Max (What initially led to the choices that led to the design that included flaws?)
• Boeings reactions to the accidents and grounding (including reactions to suggestions by others that design flaws were responsible)
• What changes could be made to lessen the likelihood of 737 Max like events occurring again and that will result in improved responses if they do?
