  • The Struggle for Dominance in the Automobile Market: the Early Years of Ford and General Motors
    The Struggle for Dominance in the Automobile Market: The Early Years of Ford and General Motors Richard S. Tedlow Harvard University This paper contrasts the business strategics of Henry Ford and Alfred P. Sloan,Jr. in the automobilemarket of the 1920s.1 The thesisis that HenryFord epitomized the method of competition most familiar to ncoclassical economics. That is to say, his key competitive weapon was price. Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. beat Ford because hc understood that the nature of the market had changed and that new tools wcrc nccdcd for success in the modern world of oligopolistic competition. Henry Ford and the Old Competition In the world of ncoclassical economics, the business landscape is studdcd with anonymous, small producers and merchants and the consumer has perfect information. Buyers do not know other buyers; buyers do not know sellers;scllcrs do not know other sellers. No scllcr can, without collusion, raise price by restricting output. It is a world of commodities. All products arc undiffcrcntiatcd. Prices arc established through the mechanism of an impersonal market, where the "invisible hand" ensures consumer welfare. Producers in an untrammeled market system have no choice but to accept "the lowest [pricc] which can bc taken" [19, p. 61]. In Adam $mith's world, business people do not lose sleep over the issue of whether or not to compete on price. Pricc is compctition's defining characteristic. Conditions approximating this description may have existed in the United States prior to the railroad revolution of the 1840s [6, pp. 13-78]. With thc building of the railroad network, however, the context of businessactivity began to change.
