PROJECT TASKS-
• Giovani – lessons learned about the “what to do” company (Boeing/Airbus)
• Edgar – key go-to-market approaches, how each company satisfies KSF’s, which KSF does each establish a position of differentiation
• Meghan – customer needs, critical external issues, market size
• Nick – background of both companies, background of industry, market growth analysis
• Domyati – lessons learned about the “what not to do” company (Embraer or other manu.)

This should be our paper outline
1. Create a comprehensive picture of the industry, including using the Vision planning model to identify the industry’s key success factors (KSFs). In the process:
a. Identify customer needs, critical external issues, market size & growth drivers;
b. Identify key go-to-market approaches
c. Identify / discuss how each competitor satisfies the KSF’s;
d. On which KSF does each establish a position of differentiation?
2. Choose two (2) companies in the industry:
a. One that has been significantly successful in the past five (5) Boeing/Airbus
b. One that has significantly declined in the same period. Embraer (or other aircraft manu.)
3. Summarize for the BoD the ‘lessons learned’ – gleaned from the experiences of Competitor
1 & 2 – about this industry and its requirements for success.
