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.
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.

Introduction William Clay Ford, Jr., was staring out the window of.pdfcharanjit1717
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.
