Months later, I went to an electronics show and there at the booth of one of our competitors was this traitor. I thought we should avoid each other, but instead of hiding from me, he rushed over to me full of greetings and conversation, as though there was nothing to be ashamed
I vowed that my company would do its best to avoid adopting this aspect of American managerial technique. - Made in Japan by Morita Akio (Sony Cofounder)

difference between an American company and Idemitsu is this: In America, able managers are baited with high salaries like fish and change from one company to another. In Japan such a man would be considered a traitor and a mean fellow - Idemitsu Sazo

https://t.co/WLFUwRpaAa If u need laws for this that is an admission that ur employees can easily be bought & ur corporate culture needs reform Western journalists who couldn't run a corner shop will write advice on how to "reform" Sony. Japanese CEO's r very much aware of US
German, & other employment practices. They just worked out a system that works with their culture with all its pluses & minuses Plenty of them have reiterated time & again very vocally that they intend to stick with their system including Toyota & Nidec. Nagamori was vocal in
his criticism including taking a shot at Japanese who earn MBA's in the West & want to bring the hire & fire culture to Japan. He also discouraged investors who want that sort of thing from investing in Nidec https://t.co/Mf273kWtaP He is Nidec CEO Toyota reiterated the same on a
recent call when a Western shareholder asked why they won't offshore production & fire their Japanese employees https://t.co/rwfoK6khqE SIGMA CEO Kazuto Yamaki is another. He even keeps the company private so that they can provide employment in rural Aizu & avoid shareholders
