Recommendations include better debt management, capacity building in operations, and embracing new technologies. By implementing these strategies, the manufacturer can continue its development in the aviation industry, enhancing its participation within regulatory frameworks and promoting cooperation with potential partners. In summary, the case study methodology allows readers to understand Boeing’s financial challenges and predict its future performance, serving as a valuable resource for stakeholders to make informed decisions for the company’s sustainability in a competitive environment.
