In order to take advantage of the other nations comparative advantages in technology and to achieve the economies of scale and to reduce excess capability, Airbus and Boeing apply the strategic alliance including joint R&D efforts and joint production of a particular component. It means they did not produce all the components of their planes. Instead, they share their jobs to their partners or concentrate on the activities in lowcost or high skills countries to increase their productivity and reduce costs.

Inadequate pre-planning for the strategic alliance. The desired technology never developed. Agreements could not be reached on alternative approaches to solve the basic objectives of the strategic alliance.
