Conclusion

• Ford is one of the largest most successful
  automotive manufacturing companies in the world.
  They didnt get the place they are today without
  being able to utilize every resource available to
  them to their full potential, being information,
  cultural, data concentration, and to get the
  optimal output from the assembly line it has
  worked so hard to perfect. Ford has learned how
  to compete on national and a global level, to
  cope with stricter government regulations along
  with high customer standards on desired products.
  Any company that has started out as Ford Motor
  Company has done will continually learn and adapt
  to changing times and markets.

Assessments

• Doing this project together as a group helped me
  greatly improve my personal communication skills,
  as most of the coordination within the group was
  done on my part, and it also helped my business
  skills by once again opening my perspective and
  business knowledge to new ideas and dimensions
  within the corporate world.
•  Nicole Cleven
• This project has allowed me to get an insight of
  how a company can move from being a large
  successful business to a huge global business. I
  was able to see how the industry at Ford Motor
  Company went from being able to just build cars
  the cheapest to developing the information
  systems between the different sectors of the
  company to get the best communication and overall
  productivity and profitability our or a large
  manufacturing company.

Assessments

• In this project, we learned how to get
  information about a company. We researched their
  missions and goals along with their profit
  performance. We also found key factors that
  contribute to the success of global business.
  Not only did we research the growth factors of
  the organization, we also looked at potential
  risks. I thought this project was very useful
  and helped provide insight about company
  research. I feel I could use this information in
  the future.
• Cody Sutton
• Through this project I have learned many
  aspects of the Ford Motor Company. I have
  learned how well Ford is doing financially. I
  have also learned what Ford is trying to achieve
  for the consumer. Through the information model,
  one can see what components work well for Ford in
  order to be a successful company.
