Strategic Planning for Competitive Advantage



For a company to have a long term, it is essential to have a strategic plan. Now what is strategic planning? According to chapter 2 in MKTG, It is a means of creating and maintaining a fit between the organizations objective and resources. How they conduct these goals is by having a marketing plan, which falls under the SWOT analysis. Having this plan helps the company addresses what they need to improve on and how they can make it better by knowing their own Strengths and Weaknesses, followed by their Opportunities and Threats.


Boeing Company remains efficient by setting goals in within all its departments such as engineers, sales, mechanical, product testing and many more. This will address issues such as management, personnel, inventory etc. 

For Boeing, strategic planning is highly important for a company as big as it is. They use strategic planning to influence the communities, airlines and military. Reliability and performance are two greatest concerns for an aircraft manufacturer. Boeing Company looks towards the buyers/consumers and apply their request. The most recent request from customers is looking for an environmentally friendly type of plane. You may think, “How can they make airplanes environmental?”


Well not long ago, after 5 years of preparation, the Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” entered the commercial service in October 26, 2011. This aircraft is the most fuel-efficient airliner and the world’s first major airliner to use composite materials for most of its construction. The 787 also consumes 20% less fuel than its competitors. This has made a large entry into the new advantages Boeing has in the upcoming future.
