Answer to Question 2
Boeing formed a strategic alliance with several Japanese partners to help reduce the risk involved in developing its 777 aircraft.

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.
