David Halberstam, with his signature precision and absorbing narrative style, traces this power shift by delving into the boardrooms and onto the factory floors of the America & rsquo;s Ford Motor Company and Japan & rsquo;s Nissan. Different in every way & mdash;from their reactions to labor problems to their philosophies and leadership styles & mdash;the two companies stand as singular testaments to the challenges brought by the rise of the global economy. With intriguing vignettes about Henry Ford, Lee Iacocca, and other visionary industrial leaders, The Reckoning remains a powerful and enlightening story about manufacturing in the modern age, and how America fell woefully behind. This ebook features an extended biography of David Halberstam. 538 Requires Boundless App. 650 0 Automobile industry and trade|zUnited States. 650 0 Automobiles|zUnited States|xFuel consumption. 650 0 Petroleum industry and trade|zUnited States. 650 0 Energy consumption|zUnited States. 650 7 Automobile industry and trade.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00822961 650 7 Automobiles|xFuel consumption.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00823463 650 7 Energy consumption.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00909986 650 7 Petroleum industry and trade.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01059546 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 4 Electronic books. 710 2 Boundless (Digital media service) |0_aBoundless_(Digital_media_service) 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0012512918|zFound on Boundless
