From the Paper
"The Boeing Company is the largest aeroplane producer in the world and it is one of the five major aerospace firms that have influenced the course of the US and global history. Its existence is due to visionary William Edward Boeing who founded the Pacific Aero Products Company in 1916. In 1917, the company was called the Boeing Airplane Company. With each year, more airplanes were being produced and the company continued to grow. Extremely needed during the war, when this was over, Boeing was forced to change the nature of their activity. They generally focused on improving their techniques and they went back in business when the US president changed. Since then, Boeing has been focused on mergers, acquisitions, product development, and the satisfaction of a wide array of customers."

"The French company states that they first came to being in order to challenge the Americans' supremacy on the international aircraft market. The company was formed in 1970 as the result of a consortium between France's Aerospatiale and Dutch Airbus. The company then merged with Spain's CASA and British Aerospace. In 2001, all four components unified under a single company, based in Toulouse, France (headquarters were set in 1974). In 2004, the aircraft company managed to overthrow their main competitor, American Boeing, by registering more sales and securing more orders. Today, they are the sole possessor of the largest airplane on the globe, the Airbus A380, which can transport up to 800 travellers at one flight."

"For many companies in the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industry the ethical challenges of selling to foreign governments and winning contracts over competing vendors located in these host countries leads to bribery and unethical offers of assistance in an attempt to win new business. The many ethical lapses of Boeing including their many harassment scandals (Atkins 2006) have become common knowledge, with extensive U.S. government of the entire A&D industry occurring as a result."

Overview of Aviation Industry in the United States Today
Major Organizations
From the Paper
"Like many industries, the aviation industry was rocked by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and with the rare exception of a few airlines such as Southwest, many carriers continue to struggle to survive today. Moreover, the same forces that are driving globalization are having a pronounced impact on domestic airport administrators as they attempt to manage their facilities while balancing the needs of increased security and demands for improved customer service. In this environment, identifying best practices represents a timely endeavor for those who would seek to better understand what works and what does not, which was the purpose of the instant study."

Abstract
This paper discusses the airline sector, an industry sector which mirrors the increased emphasis on both employees as well as customers that is one of the biggest changes in conducting business today. The writer explains that air miles emerged as a promotion strategy aimed to attract more customers. However, they have evolved to the point of significantly influencing the airline industry and customer satisfaction at unforeseen levels, and their role has grown as they lead to increased customer demands and increased competition between airline companies. The writer concludes that sky miles now represent a selection criterion when choosing an airline company, and consequently force companies to continually develop, and thereby improve, the overall image of the airline industry.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Sky miles are travel services offered by airline companies as a reward for previous purchase of the company's products or services. They are generally earned through payments with credit cards and they can be used for flights, car rentals, hotel rooms' rentals or for shopping from airport stores or other partners' stores. Air miles are easy to use, have numerous applications and can even be sold, donated or transferred. The costs of purchasing sky miles are generally reduced, but these vary with each issuer. The costs include the amount of dollars clients have to pay in order to earn a mile and the annual fees demanded by some issuers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the current regulations for transporting cargo on passenger airlines and notes that transportation of cargo is a multi-billion-dollar business that is critical to the American economy and the health of the airline industry. Specifically, the paper presents an overview of current regulations regarding the industry and considers the possible effects of a mandate to have 100 percent of cargo screened by 2009. A review of existing screening technologies shows that, without efficiency, cost and technology improvements, meeting the mandate could prove impossible without crippling the air cargo industry.

Technology, Funding must Provide Solutions
From the Paper
"But what exactly does it mean to "screen" cargo? Screening does not entail thoroughly inspecting every piece of cargo placed on aircraft, which could undermine the logistics of air cargo transport by creating cost and time pressures. In fact, ATSA did not establish a specific requirement or percentage of air cargo that needed to by physically inspected. Importantly, ATSA seemed to recognize that present screening methods would make it impractical for all air cargo to be thoroughly checked, and the legislation called for the acceleration of research development, testing, and evaluation of threat screening technology for cargo loaded onto aircraft. In short, ATSA, as it is currently written, allows for a great deal of unchecked cargo to be loaded onto passenger planes."

Executive Summary
Factor Analysis for Legal, Ethical and Social Responsibility
Factors influencing Boeings' Strategic and Contingency Planning Functions
From the Paper
"Foremost for Boeing, the issue of sexual harassment prevention is critical for their legal, ethical and social responsibility. Atkins (2006) discusses the $650M fine that Boeing had to pay the Justice Department for the attempted cover -up of their CEO's affair with an associate. Boeing's CEO Harry Stonecipher had ironically just begun working on a comprehensive ethics management program for all Boeing employees and certification process where each Boeing employee would sign a code of conduct. By far, this lapse in ethical judgment by CEO Harry Stonecipher proved to be one of the greatest distractions inside Boeing as well, as literally hundreds of millions of dollars of productivity were lost as employees, buyers, suppliers and customers. Sexual harassment is the most important factor affecting the legal, ethical and social responsibility of the company today."

Abstract
The paper reviews the literature to determine what ongoing initiatives are taking place to help launch ordinary people into space today and in the future. The paper explores how these initiatives are being marketed according to the four 'Ps' of marketing; price, product, promotion and place. The paper concludes that the day when people of ordinary means will be able to afford a trip into space is not too far away. The paper also notes that although the price remains prohibitively high for most people, one can assume that like other technologies, the price will continue to drop as innovations are identified and competition increases.
Outline:
Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The first private astronaut, Dennis Tito, had to pay the Russians $20 million for his brief visit to their space station just a few years ago, but by his accounts, the hefty price tag was well worth it. Likewise, the first private spaceship has already traveled into the lower limits of outer space to international acclaim and enthusiasm from private citizens who are now wondering if they too may have a chance to travel into space. It is little wonder then that there has been an increased amount of attention paid to recreational space travel as a natural extension of the various governmental and military-related space programs in place around the world today."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Wright brothers achieved the first powered flight in 1903, with a 59-second flight that covered a modest 852 feet at an altitude of 10 feet (SASM, 2007). Within little more than a decade from this most humble of beginnings, powered aircraft flight evolved sufficiently for pilots to face each other in aerial combat to the death in the first generation of military combat aircraft featuring full-sized machine guns in World War I. By the end of the war in 1918, bombers capable of dropping nearly 2000 pounds of explosive ordinance were in use by the British and German force(Jackson, 2003)."

Profiling Passengers, 2008.

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that as a matter of policy or recommendation, airline passenger profiling may be continued but it should be closely monitored to prevent abuse. The writer discusses that the government should and must include the civil liberties group in the vetting process and every lesson learned from both negative and positive incidents brought about by airline passenger profiling studied and the good ones should be adopted while the bad ones left out. The writer notes that history shows the various actions by the government that curtailed civil liberties but this was the result of extenuating circumstances. The writer concludes that with terrorism amidst the United States at present, people must band together to help the government in stopping terrorists, even at the price of giving up a bit of freedom. But in giving up freedom, it should always be clear to the government that the action is a means of warding off "a clear and present danger" and once the danger has passed, the rights of those who gave something important must be restored.
From the Paper
"Profiling of any type whether racial, criminal, psychological, etc. is based on preconceived notions, data or information. In the long run, it may be construed to be based on stereotypes, biases or prejudices that do more harm than good. In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, the airline industry realized the importance of having a system that could vet or analyze passengers checking in at U.S. airports. Several studies or recommendations have been made after 9/11 and airline passenger profiling became a contentious issue not only between the government and citizens but various human rights groups as well. Despite all the clamor on the pros and cons of airline passenger profiling, the United States government still had to implement a measure to prevent and/or detect in advance passengers that pose threats to airlines much like those who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks.
