Legacy McDonnell Douglass employees will no doubt have a different take on this than legacy Boeing employees. Both will defend their respective company's role in all of this. I guess that's commendable, to a point, anyway.
Impartial observers, aerospace industry analysts, are, however, pretty unanimous in their agreement. They all pretty much agree that the cause of all of this was that The Boeing Company adopted the failed management practices of McDonnell Douglass. These practices destroyed McDonnell Douglass and left the company in the position that allowed Boeing to purchase them. Once placed in charge at Boeing, Harry Stonecipher implemented those very same management policies that had caused McDonnell Douglass to fail.
This is all very, very well documented, by impartial outside observers and analysts. There are reams of written material outlining just how this happened, along with how it affected the company. Again, from independent industry analysts - not disgruntled Boeing employees looking for someone to blame.
