FORD AND TOYOTA
Within many of the subsequent chapters of this textbook, we highlight chapter-relevant material using Ford Motor Company (Ford) and Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) as practical examples. We pose questions that require you to apply the concepts introduced in that chapter to the facts of Ford and Toyota. We have selected these companies because they (1) are large, well-known manufacturers of products that are familiar to you, (2) operate in dynamic industries that present serious risks and challenges, (3) are both publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and (4) differ in terms of their issuer status with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Ford is a U.S.-based company and therefore files an annual Form 10-K and Form Def 14A, whereas Toyota is not a U.S.-based company and therefore files an annual Form 20-F).
Go to the Ford and Toyota Web sites or to the EDGAR database on the SEC’s Web site and download the following:
