Dozy,
but one glaring omission is the fact that the B777 had significant Japanese design and supply input
Actually so did the 767. There are some interesting charts in this paper:

Stonecipher & McNerney both came out of GE Aircraft Engines. Both saw the benefits of outsourcing ("Share to Gain") demonstrated by CFMI and the CFM56 engine family and then the GE90. Perhaps though, they both missed the fine points of what it takes to manage and oversee a successful outsourced program.
