Today and Tomorrow

Author: Henry Ford

Today and Tomorrow chronicles Ford's progressive ideas. It was his credo of using low-cost, high-quality production to win market share that inspired the Japanese to do the same. In these 24 chapters, Ford discusses topics that are just as relevant now as they were in 1926, at the height of Henry Ford's success: money, power, and big business; work standards, time, and motion; learning from waste; wages, hours, and employee motivation; and the power of education. Today, Henry Ford deserves a fresh look. Here is the man who doubled wages, cut the price of a car in half, and produced over 2 million units a year. Time has not diminished the impact of his business philosophy, or his profound influence on worldwide industry.
