BOX 260-287 | "Challenge to America," 1991-1998 | ||||||||||||
In "Challenge to America," the first major documentary from Hedrick Smith Productions, Smith contrasts the American economy with Germany and Japan, highlighting the differences to urge reform among large United States corporations in the face of an increasingly global market. The four-part series sees Smith interviewing the leaders of major companies such as Mitsubishi Jūkōgyō Kabushiki Kaisha, Toyota Jidōsha Kabushiki Kaisha, Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft, Airbus Industrie, Ford Motor Company, Boeing Company, General Motors Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, and Motorola among others. Program one, "Old Ways New Game," looks at how global competition has changed companies and the strategies companies in the automobile and information technology industries adopted. Program two, "The Heart of the Nation," compares the educational systems in the United States, Germany, and Japan and how those systems prepare students entering the work force. Program three, "The Culture of Commerce," looks at the roles of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and their role in shaping the companies, and the limits to their power in other countries as they balance share-holder and labor interests. Program four, "Winning Strategies," details five American success stories that echo the lessons from Germany and Japan. In addition to the four programs, Smith interviewed President Bill Clinton about his administration’s response to the problems raised by the series. Preliminary work and research on a follow-up to "Challenge to America," which eventually became "Surviving the Bottom Line," is also featured in this series. Materials include interview transcripts, production bibles, segment planning material, research, financial material, and other production materials. | |||||||||||||
