The opening and closing vignettes to this chapter feature Ford Motor Co. The official Ford Motor Co. home page (http://www.ford.com) contains discussions of important milestones in the history of the company. Read the ‘Model A Story” which describes the production and production environment of one of Ford’s early cars. Use the opening vignette and the Model A Stoiy as the basis to write a brief report in which you identify the five most significant changes that have occurred at Ford from the era of the Model A to today. Also, describe how you think the accounting system has changed from the early days of Ford Motor Co. to today.
