I knew we needed a weapon to break through to the US market, and it had to be something different, something that nobody else was making.

There are three creativities: creativity in technology, in product planning, and in marketing. To have any one of these without the others is self defeating in business.

If we face recession, we should not lay off employees; the company should sacrifice a profit. It's management's risk and management's responsibility. Employees are not guilty; why should they suffer?

Americans make money by playing `money games,' namely mergers, acquisitions, by simply moving money back and forth ... instead of creating and producing goods with some actual value.

Once you have a staff of prepared, intelligent, and energetic people, the next step is to motivate them to be creative.

Our plan is to lead the public with new products rather than ask them what kind of products they want.

From a management standpoint, it is very important to know how to unleash people's inborn creativity. My concept is that anybody has creative ability, but very few people know how to use it.
