The scramble for market share after the Detroit bankruptcies and the efforts for better quality.
05/25/2006
The bankruptcies and the closing of plants, the shift to cars, crossovers and higher mpg vehicles, the preferences of newer generations of buyers including frugality with this economic downturn, mean carmakers can quickly gain or lose market share at this time. Quality improvements are coming from all sides, for the Japanese the Americans are neck and neck, and the Koreans are sprinting ahead. For the Americans there is lack of consistency brand to brand.

Wall Street Journal 01/09/2009
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
