When evaluating a company's functions of management, there are a few factors that must be taken into consideration. For example, identifying what are the planning functions of management. Legal and ethics are just one of many types of influence's, a company may have on these planning functions and analyzing how these planning functions are applied is apart of the process. Boeing is one of the world's largest aerospace companies and leading manufacturer of commercial jet lines and defense, space, and security systems.
