Answer to Question 2
Boeing formed a strategic alliance with several Japanese partners to help reduce the risk involved in developing its 777 aircraft. Developing the new plane required billions of dollars of R&D up front. Because Boeing could not be sure how well the new aircraft would be received, the company looked for ways to reduce its financial exposure, and established an alliance with Fuji, Mitsubishi, and Kawasaki. Boeing is the controlling partner in the alliance.

Those firms, in turn, saw a chance to gain valuable experience in commercial aircraft manufacturing as well as profits.
