THE SUCCESS STORY OF HENRY FORD
Launching The Model T car that made the dream of Ford a reality.
Simpler, more reliable and cheaper to build, the Model T—nicknamed the
“Tin Lizzie”—went on sale in 1908
It was so successful within just a few months that Ford had to announce
that the company couldn’t accept any more orders
So there was a new challenge : to satisfy demand. And there comes the
ultimate leader Ford's Solution: The moving assembly line
HERE IS A FAILURE OF FORD TO INNOVATE
The Model T was so successful that he saw no need to significantly change
or improve it. He was slow to adopt innovations that came from other
carmakers, He seemed not to realize that the consumer appetites he had
encouraged and fulfilled would continue to grow. He seemed not to want
to acknowledge that once he started his company down the road of
innovation, it would have to keep innovating or else fall behind
companies that did innovate. He ignored the growing popularity of
slightly more expensive but more stylish. And comfortable cars, like the
Chevrolet, and would not listen to Ford executives who believed it was
time for a new model. But Model T sales were beginning to slip by 1923.
