There was an excellent article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday concerning the issues that face the new Ford family member.
Basically, the article sited many of the obvious (and not so obvious) issues that face Ford today:
- the Firestone dibacle, including settling the expensive lawsuits;
- age, race, and other discrimination suits from Ford's own employees;
- quality issues (the article wasn't very specific here);
- employee moral - from the factory worker on up the chain;
- and the big one, stock price which has tanked recently.
It will be interesting to see the direction that Ford takes...will the Mustang get more HP? Will the commitment to quality be re-newed?
