My solution to the problem of unleashing creativity is always to set up a target.

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?

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.

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.

The only sure thing is that in business there are no sure things.

When I find an employee who turns out to be wrong for the job, I feel it is my fault because I made the decision to hire him.

You can be totally rational with a machine. But if you work with people, sometimes logic often has to take a backseat to understanding.
