  • Case 8 HARLEY-DAVIDSON, INC., JANUARY 20011
    Case 8 HARLEY-DAVIDSON, INC., JANUARY 20011 You’ve shown us how to be the best. You’ve been leaders in new technology. You’ve stuck by the basic American values of hard work and fair play...Most of all, you’ve worked smarter, you’ve worked better, and you’ve worked together...as you’ve shown again, America is someplace special. We’re on the road to unprecedented prosperity...and we’ll get there on a Harley. President Ronald Reagan, speech at Harley-Davidson plant, York, Pennsylvania, May 6, 1987 The recovery of this company since the 1980s has been truly remarkable. When you were down in the dumps, people were saying American industry was finished, that we couldn't compete in the global economy, that the next century would belong to other countries and other places. Today, you're not just surviving -- you're flourishing, with record sales and earnings; and one of the best-managed companies in America. According to management and labor, one of the reasons you're the best-managed company in America is that you have a genuine partnership between labor and management, where all employees are valuable and expected to make good decisions on their own for the benefit of the common enterprise. And I thank you for setting that example. I wish every manufacturer in America would model it. President Bill Clinton, speech at Harley-Davidson plant, York Pennsylvania, November 10, 1999 It’s one thing to have people buy your products. It’s another for them to tattoo your name on their bodies.
