Management Skills Of Ford's Alex Trotman (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

A 5 page paper evaluating the leadership and management abilities of Ford Motor Company's CEO. Ford has always been a solid performer but never spectacular until Trotman's programs took firm hold. The 1997 profits of $6.9 billion not only is the highest in Ford's history, it also is the highest of any automaker ever. Trotman absolutely is proactive, as evidenced by the bold steps he has led Ford in making in his time there. Of course, Ford was successful before Trotman assumed his role of CEO, but much of the spectacular performance of recent times can be attributed directly to his leadership and his efficient and systematic direction of Ford's current direction.

A 10 page paper examining the facts and ethics of the Ford-Firestone tires case, including assessment of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Marketing GM’s Hybrid Crown Victoria (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

A 5 page paper discussing external issues in marketing a hybrid car resulting from a fictitious alliance between Ford and GM. Here, Ford and GM have collaborated in an alliance to produce and market a hybrid car, one that has been a standby in the Ford product line for decades. In past years, Ford has been highly successful in profitably producing and selling trucks of all types, including its popular sports utility vehicle (SUV) lines. It has performed dismally in selling passenger cars, however. GM’s hybrid fuel system will be used in the new product, giving it fuel efficiency not possible in SUVs yet providing families with enough space for children and all their sports gear too. The alliance can present the hybrid as providing the best of all conditions for the traveling family, whether they are traveling across the country or across town. The alliance should focus on greater perceived safety; greater fuel efficiency and environmental responsibility; and the ability for the family to take only one vehicle when traveling together.

Ford and Firestone Tires (6 Pages, 71.7 USD)

A 6 page paper discussing the issue of Firestone tires and their ability to make Ford Explorers roll over following a blowout. In 4 hot-weather US states and in 4 other hot-weather nations, Ford Explorers have been rolling in ways designers never intended. Firestone has recalled 6.5 million tires and Ford is authorizing replacement of any tires consumers want replaced, but none of these measures will satisfy the families of those who have lost their lives. The two companies have been partners for more than a century, but each has been reduced to pointing fingers at the other. IT systems likely will provide the truth, in that specific tires can be tied to specific vehicles and Ford has required suppliers to maintain such information for nearly two decades.
