The Ford Motor Company was founded in 1905 by Henry Ford. It exemplified the "New Consumer Society" and adopted the assembly line method of production. Henry Ford created the system of "Fordism", which was an economic system based on mass production and mass consumption. This was the first time that these methods were used, and it introduced techniques for large-scale building of cars and large-scale management of the industrial workforce. Today, Ford Motors is a successful company and Ford cars are very popular. They are reasonably priced, easily maintained, and safe vehicles. I know a lot of people who own a Ford and they love them.
Good summary and blog Sophia. Henry Ford is really a successful man. You're right about the company being successful and popular, which are they one of the most successful car selling companies in the world.
ReplyDeleteGreat old school picture! We used to only have Ford trucks at my previous company. They run forever under lots of stress if you keep up with maintenance.
ReplyDeleteIts very interesting to see the History of Ford because it (he) was one of the father for a huge industrial boom and it still around today. Thank You for sharing.
