Abstract:
In 2003, when Bill Ford took over as CEO of the Ford Motor Company, he did not inherit the most profitable company in the world. The unintended consequences of Ford's ex-CEO, Jacques Nasser's initiatives continued to affect the performance of the company. The company that posted a net income of $7.2 billion in 1999 incurred a loss of $5.5 billion (including a one time write off of $4.1 billion in restructuring costs) in 2001. Bill Ford, faced with the onerous task of putting the company back on track, had initiated some concrete measures amidst scepticism about his abilities to turn the company around.
Pedagogical Objectives:
- To discuss the reasons for the financial losses of the Ford Motor Company and the steps that Bill Ford has taken to overcome the same.
