Boeing – “Research Funding Drying UP”

Pros

Great benefits, great people, diversity of challenges, great products.

Cons

In the research labs, money is harder and harder to come by. People in the divisions are resistant to new ideas.

Advice to Senior Management

Have the people designing the research infrastructure and procedures talk to the actual researchers. They often appear clueless, re-structuring for its own sake, rather than to achieve specific objectives.
