{"product_id":"saving-jaguar-2","title":"Saving Jaguar","description":"When John Egan arrived at Jaguar Cars in April 1980, newly appointed as \nchief executive, the company's very survival was in grave doubt. In \nfact, the situation looked utterly hopeless. Not only was the once-proud \nJaguar company a part of the catastrophic British Leyland (BL) \nconglomerate but Eagan was greeted at the gates by the workforce on \nstrike! The odds against saving Jaguar were immense. Quality was \nappalling, the workforce bitter, the management disillusioned, and any \nprofits had been sucked out by BL to stem its mounting losses. The \ngovernment had introduced the closed shop, giving the unions immense \npower. This book tells the story of how John Egan gradually overcame the \nodds to rebuild this great company, winning over the workforce, the \noverseas dealers and, most important of all, the customers. Working with \nthe government, Egan and his team of managers overcame every obstacle, \nevery setback, every challenge. Using innovative techniques, \nintelligence, eloquence, openness, motor racing, and much more, they \nsaved the company, which has created some of the finest and most loved \nmotor cars of all time.","brand":"Porter Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49430673293592,"sku":"9781907085741","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/9781907085314_90b6cfaa-e4d6-43f5-9313-91c76ff72694.jpg?v=1772277791","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/bs\/products\/saving-jaguar-2","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
