Let’s take a closer look at the key aspects of personal motivation.

Is Ford’s auto-xchange the “Real Deal?” (Survey Response 1)
In a recent video that was released by The Ford Motor Company, Ford's Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Jim Yost indicated that the company has to "share information in real-time" and therefore can no longer use "the sequential processes” in which there were many “handoffs" and "transfers of information." Yost also emphasized the fact that Ford needs to "integrate much more closely with their customers, supply base and even internally," as well as stressing the importance of making information available to multiple levels of their supply base "simultaneously," thereby eschewing the current "cascade processes that might take days, weeks and even months" to disseminate.

Is It Time to Rebuild America's Middle Class
While the Ford Motor Company is certainly associated with Detroit, Ford also cranked out cars in Pittsburgh, PA, reports Mike Farrell with aspenIbiz. Read this short post as it will explain how Pittsburgh’s Ford plant illustrates that America’s complex manufacturing backbone was created over many decades yet was wiped out in 10 years. In order to rebuild its middle class, America must make a conscious and collective national decision to be friendlier to capital investment in order to create opportunities associated with energy, mining, manufacturing, distributing, and selling goods and services.
