My article is about the famous airplane manufacturing company Boeing. This article interested me because I always saw Boeing as a very honest, punctual and famous company. However that hasn’t always been the case according to this article. The article informs us that Boeing had ‘faked’ a new plane rollout for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. They were able to fool the public of a model that had not yet been completed. This later on cause an infamous image of the company towards the public as Boeing had lied to all the medias and people who had traveled to come see this new model.

In my opinion, this event must have caused a huge weakness in the company as they no longer obtain the trust of the people as an honest company. It also weakened their reputation of being a punctual company, since that had been the first and only time (that we know of) that the company had been unable to complete their new model on the deadline day. This dishonest act must have had a crucial impact on their sales, as airline companies would not want to purchase form a deceitful company who construct ‘fake’ planes to meet deadlines.
