In 1903, Henry Ford Founded The Ford Motor Company In A Small Detroit Workshop. Five Years Later, He Introduced The Model T And Met With Extraordinary Commercial Success. Between 1910 And 1914, He Developed Mass Production And Made The Conveyor A Symbol Of The Autoindustrial Age. Then, In 1914, Ford Acquired An Overnight Reputation As Humanitarian, Philanthropist And Social Reformer; And Simultaneously Infuriated The Business Community And Stunned Social Reformers With His Announcement Of The Outrageous Five Dollar Day.More Than Simply Highwage Policy, The Five Dollar Day Attempted To Solve Attitudinal And Behavioral Problems With An Effort To Change The Workers Domestic Environment. Half Of The Five Dollars Represented Wages And The Other Half Was Called Profitswhich The Worker Received Only When He Met Specific Standards Of Efficiency And Home Life That Accorded With The Ideal Of An American Way Of Life Which The Company Felt Was The Basis For Industrial Efficiency.The Unique And Shortlived Ford Program Did Not Succeed, Yet Its Significance As An Early Managerial Strategy Goes Beyond The Boundaries Of Success Or Failure. The Ford Motor Company Was Uniquely Situated In The Historical Evolution Of Labor Management And Industrial Technology, And This Readable Study Of That Evolution, Which Highlights The Ford Workers, Is A Chapter In The Larger History Of Labor And Work In America.
