關於作者

Henry Ford (1863–1947), the pioneering industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company, authored a seminal book that provides insights into his life and influential managerial philosophy, titled 'My Life and Work' (1922). Born in rural Michigan, Ford's innovative vision and contributions to the automotive industry have remained foundational to the modern era of mass production and management. While Ford's primary legacy lies in his development of the Model T car and the assembly line production method that revolutionized industrial manufacturing, his literary contributions elucidate the principles of efficiency, productivity, and economic accessibility that guided his business practices. In 'My Life and Work', Ford reflects upon his journey from a humble farm boy to one of the most impactful industrialists of the 20th century, offering readers a firsthand account of his business acumen, his ethos of consumer-centered affordability, and his beliefs on the social responsibilities of corporations. The book serves not only as a biography but also as a manifesto on industrial philosophy and enterprise efficiency. His work remains a touchstone in the fields of business strategy and organizational behavior, influencing generations of entrepreneurs and management thinkers.
