Book Description

Publication Date: January 1997

Kazuo Inamori is the dynamic, charismatic entrepreneur who founded a small ceramics company called Kyocera and built it into one of the world's largest manufacturers of ceramic and electronic components. Writing in his usual straightforward style, Inamori tackles the problems now facing corporate Japan, from the difficulties encountered by small innovative companies to the unpopularity frequently experienced by Japanese business ventures overseas. Examining Japan's current trade imbalance from historical and social perspectives, he emerges as a convincing and outspoken advocate of the need for immediate change - if Japan is to become a creditable global presence. American businessmen who have long bemoaned the closed nature of Japanese markets will surely find a kindred spirit in Inamori.

This review is from: For People and for Profit: A Business Philosophy for the 21st Century (Hardcover)

More than 'Japan Inc." ... For Outsiders to understand the Japan. For Japanese to understand themself. For Worldwide people to read and learn about one 'Company Way of Life'. Very good style. Clear points
