When Ford Motor was celebrating the 100th anniversary of its Rouge industrial complex last week, its chairman, William C Ford Jr, offered an optimistic outlook for the years ahead.
The company is still solidly profitable, he said, and while it is losing money overseas, it is working on a solution. Furthermore, he praised the ability and leadership of Ford’s chief executive, Jim Hackett, who he said was doing “a really good job.”
“I don’t think it’s even close to a crisis,” he said.
Not everyone shares his confidence.
The automaker’s bottom line is weakening despite record
