| book description |

Boeing was once a symbol of engineering excellence, a company driven by the innovation and precision of its engineers. However, in the late 20th century, a shift in prioritiesâ€”focusing on shareholder returns over passenger safetyâ€”marked a turning point that culminated in the tragic crashes of two 737 MAX aircraft and the global grounding of the fleet. This title explores how the pursuit of profit compromised safety principles, neglected human factors, and led to critical design failures that no one at Boeing had a complete view of. It examines the specifics of the Boeing crisis and looks at it in a broader industrial and economic context. The book draws from the author's extensive research on other global industrial accidents, such as the Deepwater Horizon disaster, and highlights the dangers of profit-first decision-making, the necessity of robust safety systems, and the need for legal systems to respond effectively to corporate malfeasance. It demonstrates how the failure to treat safety as a top priority can have massive reputational damage in the airline industry. Written in an accessible style, this book brings clarity to complex issues and readers will gain practicable insights into how companies, regulators, and stakeholders can better manage the risks of catastrophic failures. Boeing, the 737 MAX Crisis and Aviation Safety: The Perils of Profit-Driven Engineering is an essential read for professionals in the fields of human factors, safety, aeronautical/aerospace engineering, the law and corporate governance.
