Answer to Question 1

Answer: If Iacocca celebrates success and fails to set any new milestones, he fails to take the company from adequate performance to extraordinary performance. Instead, he has a vision of abundance that will help the company stay healthy and competitive. One of the motivators is battling Ford for the top spot in U.S. auto industry, and doing it through innovation in design and technology. Setting up new challenges creates milestones and metrics by which the company can measure progress.

Answer to Question 2

If it continues to work together, it can put the finishing touches on maybe the greatest chapter in the history of American Business. Symbolsthe tanks division was sold, despite it being one of the profitable divisions, to show commitment to cars and trucks divisions.
