As we focus on their similarities, the two companies are employing corporate management in which different bodies are involved in the running of the organizations’ managerial duties. Secondly, they are both managed from above. That is the decisions are made by those in the higher ranks in the authority profile.
Thus, those individuals who are much lower in the authority are given ready made materials for them to carry the work of implementation of the duties in to material which will yield firm’s profits or losses. On the other hand, the main difference lies in the process administering the decisions that are made. The airbus managers have much characteristic that can be attached to leadership kind of management. This is because they are courteous to the junior employees and they do respect them while they are carrying out their duties.
The airbus managers do some consultation with the supervisors who are the mediators of the top level management staff and the employees at the grass roots. The Boeing company managers are depicted in several reports and sources that they commonly use command phrases towards their juniors. Thus, they portray a dictatorship kind of leadership style. This does not evoke the dedication of the workers. Hence workers are having no willing efforts to put in order fort the company to get better results.
