Crashed Boeing 737-MAX: Fatalities or Malpractice?

In the early 2000s, Boeing launched the 737-MAX, the fourth generation of the 737 series. After one year of operations, two fatal crashes occurred in October 2018 and March 2019, claiming 346 deaths total. This case study investigates the 737-MAX as a unit of analysis, examining critical decisions, their impact on results, and best practices to avoid such failures. Key findings show the 737-MAX was the fastest-selling plane in Boeing history with over 5,000 orders, but design flaws and inadequate safety measures led to catastrophic consequences.
