It discusses how not even the best auto companies have successfully managed to adapt to these changes. The paper then focuses on Ford Motor Company and how they are coping with the changes in the industry.

From the Paper:

"To conclude, I restate the fact that the auto industry in the US and worldwide has undergone significant changes and it will continue to do so. Even the best companies such as Ford should enhance their awareness with regard to the evolution and continuous development of the market so as to be sure that they are fully prepared to meet their customers demands, swiftly and with impeccable services. None but the best and most experienced business people should be accepted as leaders. In the end, a company's most valuable assets are its employees and their proper election, their skills and abilities are the determinant factor for the success of a major corporation as Ford is."
