If Ford were alive today, what business field or fields do you think he would choose
to innovate in? Why?
If Ford were alive today, he would try to innovate in a business that already exists but that people
can't get much access to today. Since Ford was not an inventor but a mass producer, since the
automobile already existed, but thanks to his business model Ford was able to make the cars
accessible to most Americans in the first place. Possibly if Ford were alive today, he would be able
to innovate in air transport since it is something that already exists, but not everyone has access.
Like personal helicopters, it could focus on creating many of them at scale and at a more
affordable price and making a whole new industry with many employees around the world.
