More Bad News From Iraq |
Last week, Ford
announced they're going to cut the fat from their
bloated manufacturing plants. By 2012, 30,000
employees from 14 US plants will be looking for new
ways to make a buck. This week, in an effort to slim
down and become more globally competitive, the
company laid out a business plan that focuses on
producing smaller and more energy efficient
vehicles. Ford hopes that by taking a few risks
and following a new direction, consumers will once
again rely on the brand as their parents did.
This could mean big
changes for you-- the consumer.

take peek at the future of Ford.

If you would like to respond to something you have read on this site, email us at Exchange@franklinpierce.edu. Be sure to include the name of the person/blog you are responding to. Read and enjoy!
