Ford on Management

by Henry Ford

Published 7 January 1991
For Ford, the machine was not only the symbol of man's mastery of his environment, but also the means whereby he could release his intellectual and spiritual powers. Ford himself in his prime, contrary to popular stereotype, was far less interested in amassing wealth or in mass producing than in providing a service. This is Ford's personal manifesto for business management. In today's business environment the broadness of view which Ford brought to management is badly needed. The purpose of publishing this book is to show how many of Ford's ideas may benefit us today.
