    Hey Mg-Ed-Dv-ers!
    The current issue of Business Week arrived via email. Yeah, you really
    should subscribe to Business Week to get access to
    http://www.businessweek.com/ in a full way. I found an article in the issue
    dated June 25th to be a nice case study for class discussion: Ford: Why It's
    Worse Than You Think: Quality, morale, and market share are down. Can
    Jacques Nasser get this company out of reverse?

    Many nice charts like:
    Ford Lags the Industry in Quality...
