Since it was first articulated by Antonio Gramsci in his Prison Notebooks (1929–1935), Fordism has been understood at two interconnected levels. At one level, it is understood in secular materialist terms as an archetypal system of mass production. At another, as a techno-economic paradigm of capitalist expansion. However, little attention has been given to the philosophical influences and ideas that underpinned Henry Ford's (1863–1947) worldview and how this came to influence the formation of the factory systems at his Highland Park and River Rouge complexes. In most textbooks, it is assumed that Ford based his industrial design on a technological intensification of F.W. Taylor's Principles of Scientific Management. This article seeks to examine the origins and rationale behind Ford's factory system by exploring the relationship between his personal worldview and the 'ism' which came to bear his name. Through a cultural-historical analysis, this article critically explores Henry Ford's personal Fordism, and argues that what has come to be understood as one of the most 'secular' and 'materialist' processes of organising 'men and machine' began with an attempt by Henry Ford to realise a 'metaphysical' ideal that was informed by the popular philosophical and theological thought of the previous century. By returning to the ideas and the context of this period, Ford's engagement with the work of the American Transcendentalist, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) is considered to both contextualise Henry Ford's Fordism and explore the philosophical tensions at the heart of his organisational theory and practice.

ABSTRACTThis article investigates the life and career of Norval Hawkins (1867–1936), a successful accountant at Ford Motor Company and acclaimed author of salesmanship books. He was, however a convicted felon in a Standard Oil embezzlement scheme. The early years of Ford enjoyed phenomenal growth, especially after introduction of the Model T in 1908. Oversight of accounting and sales remained under James Couzens, from the company's inception in 1903, but less is known about the role of accountant and salesman Norval Hawkins, whose contributions included cost and branch accounting systems and a unique dealership structure. Beyond his accounting and sales skills, Hawkins created a popular house publication, the Ford Times, to influence salespeople, customers, and dealers. Ultimately, his style and success irritated founder Henry Ford, and Hawkins was abruptly ousted. Primary archival material from The Henry Ford was retrieved to provide information on Hawkins' years at Ford from 1907 to 1919.JEL Classifications: M41; M42; M48.

The aim of this master's thesis was to examine the intercultural aspects of Turkey's automobilization. The focus here was on two important rulers, in particular the idea and influence of the USA and Germany, including the well-known companies Ford and Mercedes, on Turkish automobilization. It is important because it shows us the dominance of both nations in Turkey, but also the difference of the influence of Ford and Mercedes in the automotive process of Turkey. Siegfried Jäger's Critical Discourse Analysis was used as a prevalent method. The aim of the methodology is to identify the truth that has been governed by certain power relations. The language is the construction system which presents the statements. Critical Discourse Analysis determines these statements on the basis of a structural analysis. The time from the World War I to the 1980s was investigated. Two important events were examined in the source analysis: The foundation of the Ford factory in Karaköy and the foundation of the Otomarsan bus factory in Davutpaşa. All sources come from the Cumhuriyet newspaper; 78 Ford articles from 1930, seven Mercedes articles from 1976 and five Otomarsan articles from 1976 to 1979 were examined. The source analysis has proven the importance of the automobile for Turkey and the interest of society in the automobile. Not only the guiding ideas and visions of Ford and Mercedes influence Turkish automobilization, but also the ideologies of the USA and Germany. On the part of Ford, we see an integration of Ford's work culture (e.g. 8-hour day and minimum wage) into Turkish production, which is perceived very positively by Turkish society. At the same time, Turkey is interested in the USA and in Henry Ford as an employer. Despite Ford's intensive reporting, Mercedes and Otomarsan's reporting was very low. In addition, Otomarsan's first reporting took place long after the company was founded. The newspaper articles prove that Mercedes was very present in Turkey as a German brand. Nevertheless, there is a clear separation between Mercedes and Otomarsan. Thus, Otomarsan positioned itself as a bus factory of Turkish origin ; Söz konusu yüksek lisans tez çalışmasının genel amacı, Türkiye'nin otomobilleşme sürecinde kültürlerarası etkileşim yönlerini incelemektir. Araştırma kapsamında Ford ve Mercedes gibi tanınmış ve sektörde söz sahibi olan iki şirketin yanı sıra ABD ve Almanya'nın Türkiye üzerindeki otomobilleşme etkisi incelenmiştir. Dolayısıyla araştırmanın temel amacı Türkiye'nin otomobilleşme sürecinde her iki ülkenin hakimiyetini ve aynı zamanda Ford ve Mercedes'in etkisinin farklılığını ortaya koymaktır. İlgili çalışmada bilimsel yöntem olarak Siegfried Jäger'in Kritik Söylem Analizi kullanılmıştır. Seçilen metodoloji'nin amacı, belirli bir zaman aralığında egemen olan gerçekliği tanımlamaktır. Açıklamalarda kullanılan dil ve ifade türü söylem analizinin temelini oluşturmaktadır. Kritik Söylem Analizi, söz konusu ifadeleri yapısal bir analiz ile belirlemektedir. Dönem olarak I. Dünya Savaşı'ndan 1980'lere kadar olan süreç araştırma olarak ele alınmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında Karaköy'deki Ford fabrikasının kuruluşu ve Davutpaşa'daki Otomarsan otobüs fabrikasının kuruluşu örnek olay olarak incelenmiştir. Araştırma verisi olarak kullanılan tüm kaynaklar Cumhuriyet gazetesinden elde edilmiştir. Ford ile ilgili veriler fabrikanın kuruluşundan sonra 1930 yılında yayınlanmış 78 adet haber, Mercedes ile ilgili ise 1976 yılında yayınlanmış 7 adet haber ve Otomarsan ile ilgili 1976-1979 yılları arasında yayınlanmış 5 haber incelenmiştir. Verilerin içerik ve söylem analizi ile elde edilen bulgular, otomobilin Türkiye için önemini ve toplumun otomobile olan ilgisinin yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Sadece Ford ve Mercedes'in yol gösterici fikirleri ve vizyonları değil aynı zamanda ABD ve Almanya'nın ideolojileri de Türkiye'nin otomobilleşme sürecinde etkili olmuştur. Ford firması ile ilgili olarak; Ford'un çalışma kültürünün (8 saatlik gün ve asgari ücret . gibi) Türkiye'deki üretim sistemine entegre oluşu Türk toplumu tarafından çok olumlu algılandığı görülmüştür. Aynı zamanda, bu süreçte Türkiye'de çıkan haberlere göre ABD'nin ve bir işveren olarak Henry Ford'un ilgi odağı olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak, Mercedes ve Otomarsan ile ilgili haberlerin Ford ile ilgili haberlerin yoğunluğuna kıyasla çok zayıf olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, Otomarsan ile ilgili ilk haberlerin şirket kurulduktan çok sonra gerçekleştiği görülmüştür. Gazete haberleri Mercedes'in o dönem Türkiye'de önemli bir Alman markası olarak tanındığını göstermektedir. Her ne kadar, Mercedes ile Otomarsan arasında açık bir ayrım olmasa da Otomarsanın kendisini Türkiye menşeli bir otobüs fabrikası olarak konumlandırdığı gözlemlenmektedir.

To mark the 125th anniversary of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the Henry Dunant Society organized a two-day symposium in Geneva from 26 to 28 October 1988 on the direct precursors of the Red Cross.For three days, historians and people working on the theoretical and practical side of the Red Cross and other academic and private institutions sought to discover or rediscover women and men who, especially in the nineteenth century, had the same concerns as the "Committee of Five" for wounded and sick soldiers and for prisoners of war and a desire to see both the wounded and those caring for them declared neutral and standing relief societies created. In short, the purpose of the symposium was to ascertain the influence of that humanitarian sensibility which found tangible expression with the founding of the Red Cross in 1863.

Analysing US foreign policy towards Angola during the Ford administration, this book provides an intriguing insight into one of the most avoidable and unfortunate episodes in Cold War history and explores the impact on Henry Kissinger's much vaunted reputation for being guided by realist principles. Kissinger has dominated political discourse and scholarship on US foreign policy since the 1970s, but although his legacy continues to generate controversy, little attention has been paid to the influence of Vietnam's collapse on the US decision to covertly intervene in the Angolan civil war. This book argues that Kissinger's concern for personal reputation and US credibility following the collapse of Vietnam led to a harmful and unrealistic policy toward Angola. Exposure of US covert intervention exacerbated domestic and international political tensions and the subsequent showdown between the excutive and legislative branches ironically resulted in Kissinger proclaiming a new departure in US-African relations. Thus, it is argued that Kissinger was an unintentional realist' rather than an intellectual proponent of realpolitik. Enhancing our understanding of Kissinger, his relationship with his subordinates and with Congress, and his approach to foreign policy, this book will be of interest to scholars of Cold War history, US foreign policy and all those fascinated by the personality of Henry Kissinger.

This project analyzes the various opinions in the United States of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis during the 1930s and studies the amount of information that was available in the United States regarding Nazi Germany before entering World War II. Specifically, it seeks to understand why the United States did relatively little to influence German and European affairs even in the face of increasing Nazi brutality and bellicosity. The analysis has been divided into three different categories. The first focuses on the United States government, and the President and Secretary of State in particular. The second category analyzes the minority opinion in the United States that had Nazi sympathies. Finally, the third deals with the American public in general. The evidence suggests that there was enough information regarding Nazi Germany for Americans to make a reasonable judgment. Most of the United States was opposed to Nazism and the German government. In spite of this, the majority agreed that the United States should not intervene or enter war. This study is significant because it helps shed further light on a debate in the country that continues to the present day: what role should the United States have when it comes to world affairs? The research in this thesis suggests that, in spite of opposition by the American public, if there is enough verifiable evidence of a humanitarian crisis to justify intervention, the government should act. ; 2013-05-01 ; B.A. ; Arts and Humanities, Dept. of History ; Bachelors ; This record was generated from author submitted information.

This thesis is a study of how the Gerald Ford administration struggled to address a perceived loss of US credibility after the collapse of Vietnam, with a focus on the role of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in the formulation, implementation and subsequent defence of US Angolan policy. By examining the immediate post-Vietnam period, this thesis shows that Vietnam had a significant impact on Kissinger's actions on Angola, which resulted in an ill conceived covert operation in another third world conflict. In 1974, Africa was a neglected region in Cold War US foreign policy, yet the effects of the Portuguese revolution led to a rapid decolonization of its African territories, of which Angola was to become the focus of superpower competition. After South Vietnam collapsed in April 1975, Kissinger became fixated on restoring the perceived loss of US prestige, Angola provided the first opportunity to address this. Despite objections from his advisors, Kissinger methodically engineered a covert program to assist two anti-Marxist guerrilla groups in Angola. As the crisis escalated, the media discovered the operation and the Congress decided to cease all funding. A period of heated tensions ensued, resulting in Kissinger creating a new African policy to outmanoeuvre his critics publicly, while privately castigating them to foreign leaders. This thesis argues that Kissinger's dismissal of internal dissent and opposition from the Congress was influenced by what he perceived as bureaucrats being affected by the Vietnam syndrome, and his obsession with restoring US credibility. By looking at the private and public records – as expressed in government meetings and official reports, US newspaper and television coverage and diplomatic cables – this thesis addresses the question of how the lessons of Vietnam failed to influence Kissinger's actions in Angola, but the lessons of Angola were heavily influential in the construction of a new US-African policy.
