Henry Ford's Universal Code for World-Class Success

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Henry Ford's My Life and Work remains one of the most comprehensive books on management ever written: a universal code, to use Ford's words, that applies to every human field of endeavor. It contains not only all the basic elements of what is now called the Toyota Production System, but also the organizational and human relations principles necessary to gain buy-in and engagement from all participants. This annotated edition intersperses Ford's original material with detailed explanations and contemporary examples that put it into context for 21st century business leaders and Lean manufacturing practitioners.
