You/your group are part of the management team for the CEO (me) for an aircraft manufacturing firm.

Background: You/your group are part of the management team for the CEO (me) for an aircraft manufacturing firm. I have tasked you with writing a company-wide memo to layout our corporate strategy for the coming years. Use the information provided to develop a memo.

You must choose either Boeing or Airbus and discuss the optimum strategy for the following questions:

Do we pursue subsidies from the government to help us compete?

What are the ramifications if we do?

Should we develop more/better relationships with our military customers?

What are the ramifications if we do?

What would be the results if we unilaterally refused either of the options above?

Assuming our competition does accept one of the governmental help programs, what can we do to counter them in the market?
