Alan Mulally: True Leader at Ford
I, along with the team of 5 people, prepared this presentation as a part of Project Leadership and Communication class in the first semester at the University of Connecticut's School of Business' Master of Science in Business Analytics and Project Management course.
It was a great experience where we culminated the ideas from the entire team, comprising of different ethnicities and religions.
We got to learn a lot of Project Leadership concepts when we studied the work done by Alan. The most impressive thing I found about him was his humor. He was so poised in the tumultuous situation, which even I want to learn more from him, and others.
In conclusion, I would like to recommend this class by Prof. Wilson to every student of the MSBAPM course here at UCONN.

FCA Company Presentation: EECS 441 Winter 2016
This document discusses Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), which was formed through the merger of Fiat and Chrysler in 2014. It provides an overview of FCA's current vehicle lineup and highlights including the Dodge Challenger and Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcats. The document also notes FCA's history of bankruptcy and mergers, and examines its competitors like Ford and Volkswagen. Financial details are presented, and both short-term growth predictions and long-term challenges around fuel efficiency and autonomous vehicles are considered.
Chrysler After Bankruptcy
The document discusses opportunities and threats facing the global automobile industry. It analyzes key growth markets like Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Government regulations on fuel efficiency and emissions will drive innovation. The industry faces threats from economic recession and potential spikes in oil prices. The document also examines the strengths and weaknesses of Chrysler and Fiat, praising Fiat's CEO for his expertise in turnarounds.
Corporate governance
The failure of corporate governance at GM led to its bankruptcy. Weak and compliant boards allowed CEOs like Roger Smith and Richard Wagoner to make disastrous decisions without accountability. They pursued unsustainable strategies like maintaining too many brands and paying high costs for wages and benefits. This mounting debt burden, along with the economic crisis, caused GM's slow motion crash. The bankruptcy was the inevitable result of denied problems and delayed solutions under poor leadership and governance for decades.

The 2009 strategic alliance between Chrysler and Fiat provided both companies opportunities to address weaknesses. Chrysler gained access to Fiat's fuel efficient vehicle platforms and technology to comply with its government bailout conditions, while Fiat gained entry into the lucrative North American market. However, challenges integrating the corporate cultures and brands exist. The alliance allowed both companies to survive the economic crisis but synergies have been slow to realize. Fiat has continued restructuring in Europe with job cuts due to financial losses while Chrysler's new Dart model from the alliance has struggled with slow sales.
Ford’S Strategic Positioning
Ford Motor Company was founded in 1903 and transformed the automotive industry with the Model T. The company faced economic crisis during the late 2000s recession but a new CEO, Alan Mulally, helped turn the company around. Mulally slashed the workforce, sold off non-core brands, accelerated research and development, and paid down debt. This allowed Ford to withstand the recession while gaining brand loyalty. As a result, Ford's sales increased quarterly in 2009 while competitors struggled, and the company has since added more jobs and expanded globally looking toward continued growth and leadership in quality, fuel efficiency, and safety.

Thursday slide
Henry Ford was an American industrialist and founder of Ford Motor Company who developed the assembly line for mass production of affordable automobiles. His Model T, produced using the assembly line, was the first car that made automobiles accessible to the masses, fueling faster transportation and enhancing the U.S. economy and workforce. While no longer in production, Ford has continued innovating its vehicles over the decades to be more environmentally friendly, safer, faster and able to transport more people than when it first launched the revolutionary Model T.
Chrysler
Chrysler is an American automobile manufacturer headquartered in Michigan. It produces vehicles under the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram brands. In 2015, Chrysler expects its market share in the US to increase to slightly over 13% from its current 9.4% share. This expected growth is driven by new product launches from Dodge and Chrysler brands. However, automotive forecasting firm IHS predicts Chrysler's market share will remain stable at around 8.8% between 2011-2014. Chrysler remains reliant on the North American market for over 90% of its sales.

1) Chrysler was founded in 1925 and has grown to become the seventh largest automaker globally, known for minivans and Hemi engines.
2) It filed for bankruptcy in 2009 but formed an alliance with Fiat, selling most assets to Fiat while retaining eight key factories.
3) Both external opportunities like management changes and internal threats like decreasing dealer confidence are analyzed, with the latter seen as the most significant threat.
Ford_Auto Industry Case Study
The document discusses the impact of the global recession from 2007-2010 on the automotive industry. It analyzes declines in global car sales, particularly in the US and European markets. Ford is presented as a case study of how a major automaker survived the recession through leadership changes, marketing strategies like the Ford Fiesta campaign, financial moves like loans and asset sales, and cost cutting. The conclusions drawn are that economic downturns negatively impact durable goods industries and that companies must be agile and adaptive to withstand recessions.

Alan Roger Mulally is an American engineer and business executive who has worked for both Boeing and Ford Motor Company. He received engineering and management degrees from the University of Kansas and MIT. At Boeing, Mulally rose to become President and CEO, leading several major aircraft programs. In 2006, he was named President and CEO of Ford Motor Company, where he helped turn the company around from major financial losses. Mulally has received several honors and awards for his leadership.
Sociocultural Level of Analysis: Social and Cultural Norms
This document discusses social and cultural norms and how they influence behavior. It describes norms as rules based on shared cultural beliefs about appropriate behavior. Humans conform to norms to belong to social groups. Social learning theory holds that people learn behaviors by observing and imitating models. Factors like attention, retention, motivation, and rewards/punishment impact whether behaviors are learned. Studies show children imitate aggressive behaviors modeled by adults. Cultural dimensions also influence behavior, with individualist versus collectivist cultures and uncertainty avoidance impacting conformity. Cultural norms are passed down through generations and regulate behaviors within groups.

Introduction
William Clay Ford, Jr., was staring out the window of
his office in Dearborn, Michigan, lost in thought. The
future of Ford Motor Company was hanging in the
balance, and no one was certain how best to save this
once-great company. Question after question without
any easy answers kept going through his mind. . . . How
much longer can Ford survive with the large losses? Will
it have to sell off assets or financially restructure? Can
it cut enough costs, and where should it cut? Will the
union leaders realize the situation, and how much will
they be willing to help? When will Chinese competitors
enter the U.S. market? How can Ford develop its product
offerings to adjust for higher fuel costs? How can
Ford improve its product offering to reverse or at least
stop the market share losses? How much more market
share will it lose?
The magnitude of the situation seemed overwhelming.
In order to overcome these challenges, it seemed as if
Ford would have to restructure every aspect of its business.
It would require improved product offerings with cuttingedge
design and high quality; improved operation with
more flexibility and lower costs; and improved marketing
with better brand image and customer interest. Ford was at
a crossroads, and the way ahead remained shrouded in fog.
History
Ford has gone through many evolutions since its humble
beginnings on June 16, 1903.1 Henry Ford began this
corporation, now synonymous with the assembly line,
the Industrial Revolution, and the American Dream,
with 11 business associates and $28,000 in capital.2 Ford
Motor Company continued along with minimal leadership
problems until the death of its president, Edsel Ford,
Case 10
in 1943. Intense dissension about who should succeed
Edsel Ford continued until Henry Ford, at the age of 79,
returned from retirement to lead the company. For the
next two years under Henry Ford the company operated
with massive losses of $10 million dollars per month.3
Finally, in 1945, Henry Ford was forced to step down and
Henry Ford II assumed the role of president.4 Henry Ford
II managed to successfully maneuver the company back
to productivity and empowered Robert McNamara and
his group (planning and financial analysis) to transform
Fords leadership style from a tyrannical dictatorship to a
powerful, professional oligarchy.5 Over the next 20 years,
Ford Motor Companys presidents and CEOs turned over
13 times.6 The current CEO, Alan Mulally, was appointed
in September 2006 to take over for William Clay Ford, Jr.,
who had served as both president and CEO since 2001.
William Clay Ford, Jr., led Ford Motor Company to three
straight years of profitability followed by a sharp decrease
in profits marked by a $1.44 billion loss in the first half
of 2006.7 These losses motivated Ford Motor Company
to search for a new CEO from outside the industry, Alan
Mulally, formerly of Boeing Corporation. Mulally stood
out as a qualified successor because he demonstrated the
leadership skills Ford.

* This case study was prepared by Professor Pauline Assenza of Western
Connecticut State University; Professor Helaine J. Korn of Baruch College,
City University of New York; Professor Naga Lakshmi Damaraju of the Sonoma
State University; and Professor Alan B. Eisner of Pace University. The purpose
of the case is to stimulate class discussion rather than to illustrate effective or
ineffective handling of a business situation. Copyright © 2019 Alan B. Eisner.
In January 2019, the Ford Motor Company celebrated as
the F-Series line of pickups became the top-selling trucks
in the United States for the 42nd consecutive year. This
line of trucks also marked 37 years as the best-selling vehi-
cle in the United States overall. In 2018, the F-Series,
which included the Super Duty and the F-150 Raptor, sold
909,330 vehicles—just 30,181 units short of the all-time re-
cord set in 2004.1 Jim Farley, Ford executive vice president
and president, Global Markets, pointed to the F-Series as a
“juggernaut” that “leads the world in sales, capability, and
smart technology, setting the bar others follow.”2 But would
truck sales alone help the increasingly depressed auto mar-
ket, where the overall industry had already seen a drop in
sales of 2.6 percent in the first months of 2019? This was
the biggest decline since the recession of 2009, and there
appeared to be no relief in sight.3 Something would have to
change. Bold leadership was needed.
The ability to anticipate customers’ needs was crucial to
any company’s long-term success, but it was especially im-
portant in the capital-intensive, consumer-driven, globally
competitive automobile industry. As the major players from
Asia, Europe, and the United States jockeyed for position in
the sales of traditional trucks and cars, smaller, more inno-
vative companies such as Tesla, Elio Motors,4 and start-up
Faraday Futures were creating concept cars that addressed
consumers’ interests in alternative fuels, low operational
costs, and self-driving autonomous designs that promised to
leave the passenger free to use in-transit time for other more
productive pursuits. The auto industry was going through a
“significant secular change” that was hard to predict. The
trend seemed to be going toward less car ownership and, as
the industry became more niche focused, rapid technological
changes meant it was essential to be able to refresh the
product portfolio rapidly in order to maintain market share.5
Responding to this trend, Mark Fields, CEO of Ford
from 2014 to 2017, had said Ford would be using innovation
“not only to create advanced new vehicles but also to help
change the way the world moves by solving today’s growing
global transportation challenges.”6 Self-driving cars were
reported to be coming as early as 2019 to the global road-
ways; and Ford Motor Company had made a commitment
to this business, testing its fleet o ...

Ford Motor Company has implemented several strategic initiatives to adapt to changing economic conditions and markets. These include downsizing its workforce and assets, introducing new electric vehicles, and incorporating robotics into quality control. Ford has rebounded from $14.6 billion in losses in 2008 to profits of $2.7 billion in 2010 due to these changes. Strong human resource management, like that led by Felicia Fields, has also helped Ford achieve its business goals and turnaround. Based on Ford's adaptations and current success, the author would be willing to invest in Ford as a mutual fund manager.

At Ford, Turnaround Is Job One
When Alan Mulally became CEO of Ford Motor Company in September 2006, the company
was bleeding red ink. All of its brands were losing money. Ford’s U.S. market share had been in
freefall for more than ten years, dropping since 1995 from 25 to 16.8 percent and leaving the
company with its smallest market share since 1920. Total losses for 2006 were estimated at $8
billion.
Ford was losing ground domestically and internationally. General Motors’ (GM) Chevrolet
brand had overtaken Ford to become the number-one U.S. brand. Toyota had surpassed Ford to
become the second-largest automaker in the world behind GM (by early 2007, Toyota would
become number one, pushing Ford to third place).
As recently as fall 2000, Ford’s shares paid a quarterly dividend of $0.50, but by the time
Mulally accepted the job, it had been reduced four times and stood at $0.05. During the few
weeks before he actually started, the dividend was suspended.
In some ways, Mulally was a surprising choice. He was a thirty-seven-year veteran of
Boeing, and there was no precedent for bringing an outsider into the insular world of automaking.
Still, Mulally’s hiring was widely seen as a good decision. Analysts pointed out numerous
similarities between Boeing and Ford. Both were subject to global competition, complex
regulations, and fast-changing technologies. Both had a unionized workforce. In both the auto and
aviation industries, designing and introducing new models took years (in fact, nearly every new
vehicle Ford rolled out in the two years following Mulally’s arrival was approved before he
began his Ford career).
Perhaps most importantly, as head of Boeing’s commercial airplane division Mulally had led
a successful turnaround effort. The company had been losing market share to archrival Airbus,
struggling with inefficiencies, and dealing with diminished public perceptions about the
company. An airline industry downturn brought on by the 9/11 terrorist attacks had led t ...

COM60811 - Final Paper - Leadership at Ford Motor Company
Mulally and Ford Jr. led Ford Motor Company through the economic downturn of 2007-2008 using transformational and democratic leadership styles. They avoided government bailouts by borrowing $23.6 billion in 2006. Mulally overhauled Ford's operations, culture, and products. He empowered internal teams and the marketing officer to lead change. Their authentic "glocal" communication and branding efforts positioned Ford for success as the economy recovered. By 2010, Ford was profitable again thanks to Mulally and the leadership team's strategic vision and communication.
ADV425 Mid-Term Presentation on Ford
Ford Motor Company is an American automaker founded in 1903 that has faced difficulties in recent years but has emerged from the recession without government bailouts. Ford raised billions in loans during the economic downturn by putting up assets as collateral. While Ford lost billions in 2008 due to plummeting sales, the company has since increased market share and outsold GM in 2010 by shifting focus to its core brands and smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. Ford aims to convince consumers to choose its trucks and cars over competitors by emphasizing quality, fuel efficiency, safety and value through its marketing and social media strategies.
MBA 592 Ford Vs. General Motor's Master's Thesis power point
This document compares Ford Motor Company and General Motors. It provides leadership profiles for both companies. It discusses how each company handled the Great Depression and Great Recession. During the Great Depression, Ford introduced a new larger vehicle to compete with GM. During the Great Recession, Ford was the only US automaker to not accept government bailout funds, instead taking on large loans. In contrast, GM and Chrysler both accepted billions in government funds and GM ultimately filed for bankruptcy. The document concludes that Ford is the better company because it never took taxpayer funds and the US government lost money on its bailout of GM.

【业务选择办理准则】
一、工作未确定，回国需先给父母、亲戚朋友看下文凭的情况，办理一份就读学校的毕业证【微信：A575476】文凭即可
二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信：A575476】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。
留信网认证的作用:
1:该专业认证可证明留学生真实身份
2:同时对留学生所学专业登记给予评定
3:国家专业人才认证中心颁发入库证书
4:这个认证书并且可以归档倒地方
5:凡事获得留信网入网的信息将会逐步更新到个人身份内，将在公安局网内查询个人身份证信息后，同步读取人才网入库信息
6:个人职称评审加20分
7:个人信誉贷款加10分
8:在国家人才网主办的国家网络招聘大会中纳入资料，供国家高端企业选择人才
→ 【关于价格问题（保证一手价格）
我们所定的价格是非常合理的，而且我们现在做得单子大多数都是代理和回头客户介绍的所以一般现在有新的单子 我给客户的都是第一手的代理价格，因为我想坦诚对待大家 不想跟大家在价格方面浪费时间
对于老客户或者被老客户介绍过来的朋友，我们都会适当给一些优惠。
选择实体注册公司办理，更放心，更安全！我们的承诺：可来公司面谈，可签订合同，会陪同客户一起到教育部认证窗口递交认证材料，客户在教育部官方认证查询网站查询到认证通过结果后付款，不成功不收费！
