The American Corporate Story and History of Innovation
As Brinkley points out in his epic book Wheels for the World: Henry Ford, His Company, and a Century of Progress, the history of corporations is often neglected. In this revealing presentation about a man who constantly pushed for improved processes and reduced costs, Brinkley explains how Ford shaped the 20th century. Surrounding Ford was a group of ordinary and extraordinary people who built a great company -- warts and all. Brinkley compares his research about Ford Motor Company to the challenges and opportunities faced today by corporate America
