Allen Rue MGMT 6510 March 29, 2013 Ford Motor Company: Staying “Ford Tough” Ford has used many strategies to remain as one of the top automobile manufacturers in the world. Two of these strategies have dealt with legitimate power and expert power. Henry Ford obtained legitimate power from Ford Motor Company because of his position as CEO and founder. Henry used this power to lead the construction of an all in one plant where the processing of raw materials, parts, and final automobiles were produced in one factory. This led to Henry Ford’s vision of everyone being able to afford a Model T Ford come to fruition by getting the cost of the vehicle down to $360.
The greatest automobile company of all time is Ford automotive. Henry has always had a skill set for craftsmanship when he made the first experimental car in 1896. It was a twin cylinder engine with the potential of 20mph; in 1899 he left his job to organize the Detroit automobile company.

Life had never seemed better for the majority of the American people. This boom developed for a number of reasons; The main reason why there was a boom in America in the 1920s was the impact of mass manufacturing & mass production. Before the war, mass manufacturing was almost unheard of - everything was individually made by hand. The American Henry Ford was the first engineer who mass manufactured cars. He was able to cut down the time to build a car from a few weeks to an hour and a half.
[1] More importantly, at 20 he began building an efficient, inexpensive and simple farm tractor to replace the large steam tractors of the time. [2] This already showed his drive, not seen in many youths his age, which would be the start of his policies of efficiency and innovation. Ford built his first car in 1892 working at the Edison Company, sold it and used the money to build a lighter, stronger vehicle. [3] In 1899 he left to the Detroit Automobile Company, but in 1902 after leaving them, Ford complained that they did not share his idea of producing a single model car at mass, but preferred individual orders of custom vehicles. [4] The Ford Motor Company produced 1708 two-cylinder cars in its first year, by 1915 they produced a million cars, but under the new system of higher wages and lower prices this rose to two million cars a year.
Through methods of disciplinary, black people provided cheap labour that had been sustained within homelands for the industries. This created wealth and power for white people in areas of terrible poverty. In the factories, “wages are low, working conditions are often poor and workers protection are often minimal” for black people. Women on average earned R75 a month, whereas men earned between R75 and R100 a month in QwaQwa. However in actuality, sixty percent of QwaQwa’s industrial workers earned less than R60 a month.
Ten months earlier, Smith had become the project leader for Chrysler’s joint venture with BMW. The joint venture, known as Tritec, was responsible for developing a new 1.6-liter family of engines. Tritec was a high profile development project with a projected $525+ million investment. The deadlock involved the selection of an engine block sealing design. Product engineers had originally designed a lower tie bar for the cylinder block, a design never before used at Chrysler on a small engine.
Colton Greene Mr. Bates – 6 English Literature 12 12 February 2014 Senior Research Paper – Final Draft How Henry Ford Affected the Lives of the American People Imagine if Henry Ford did not invent the moving assembly line back in 1913. In that time, cars would not have been affordable and people would not have been able to get around as easily. If he did not make the first moving assembly line, most things today would not be as mass produced. Henry Ford directly impacted the lives of the people of his time by making cars more affordable and, without knowing, impacted the lives of many generations to come because the assembly line made it easier and faster to make products. To understand the impact of an assembly line one must first know what an assembly line is.

The Model-T was the first ever Combustion engine ever built. Model-T wasn’t the first automobile ever built. A man named Richard Dudgeon of New York City developed the first automobile with a steam engine in 1855 but it was lost in a fire, he then created another automobile many years later, in 1866.
