THE ENGINE FINALLY TURNS OVER AT FORD For years it has been fashionable to dump on Detroit's cars as lacking in style, quality, and fuel-efficiency. But if Ford Motor's third-quarter results--the first profit since 2005--are any indication, there may be life in American car brands after all. Of course, CEO Alan Mulally made clear that one good quarter does not a turnaround make. The economy remains anemic, and millions of people are more concerned with finding or keeping their jobs than buying a new vehicle. It is also true that Ford's $1 billion in profit rests in part on Mulally's skillful use of his ... Read Full Story

Apparently , Ford boss Alan Mulally arrives at work at 5:15 in the morning every day. He stays for 12 hours. True, a lot more than hard work is required to save an automobile manufacturer. The chips will fall where they may. Good cars will be introduced at the right or wrong time. Government standards will change with the wind. But when you chief executive takes success that seriously, something's going right. As a result of Mulally's work-work-work-work-work stance, Ford has brought its hourly labour costs down by about $21.00/hour. Since Ford Motor's debt was almost as big as the province of Nova Scotia's, ... Read Full Story
