Today and Tomorrow - The 1926 Classic

This carefully edited, new edition of Today and Tomorrow combines the classic 1926 book with a contemporary design and a context-rich biography of superstar entrepreneur, industrial pioneer and American icon Henry Ford (1863-1947). 100 years after its original publication, Today and Tomorrow is as fresh, counter-intuitive and exciting a read as ever.In the 1900s in Detroit, Ford laid the foundation to 20th century mass-manufacturing and to the modern automotive industry as we know it today. Since the 1970s, Today and Tomorrow has also been recognized as a pioneering effort in articulating the philosophy and the practical foundations of Just-in-Time thinking, Lean and flow organizing.Henry Ford was an inventor, an entrepreneur, and a formidable marketer. He was described as "a simple man" - but he was also a contradictory character. Written in collaboration with journalist Samuel Growther, Today and Tomorrow captures Ford's thinking and achievements at the very height of his career. This autobiography is, at the same time, a primer in Corporate Social Responsibility, a manifesto for free enterprise that's consistently enlightened and humanistic, and a fervent call for progress within industry and beyond.
