An enemy of innovation could be your own sales force.

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

Japanese people tend to be much better adjusted to the notion of work, any kind of work, as honorable.

The important thing in my view is not to pin the blame for a mistake on somebody, but rather to find out what caused the mistake.

If you don't want Japan to buy it, don't sell it.

All you need is the best product in the world, the most efficient production in the world and global marketing.

But make sure you don't make the same mistake twice.
