Jack Welch is a great case study in corporate psychopathy, but I feel like the Boeing chapter would address different aspects in the future MBA’s reading list. This is something more along the lines of the Postal Service scandal in the UK.
Real world incidents, and their incident report, that ahould be mandatory reading for every engineering and management student:
- Chernobyl: great lessons on how to engineer complex systems, the importance of safety culture, the role humans and management olay and how all of this can lead to disaster
- AF 447: lessons on training and HMI design and human factors
- B737 MAX: to be read after Chernobyl, lessons on safety again, mandatory essay to be writen about the parallels between Chernobyl and the B737 MAX
- Bonus reading for the above two points: Fukushima
- B737 MAX 9 and door plugs (once the final repoets are done): lessons on the importance of failure culture and strong quality processes
- Bad Blood, Money Men: Everybody needs a primer in corporate governance, ethics and the red flags that come with it; add the final reporting on the UK postal scandal and FTX
