Nobody in the world is as good at making decisions as the Japanese.

A business enterprise must continue beyond the lifetime of the individual or of the generation to be capable of producing its contributions to economy and to society.

In most organizations, the bottleneck is at the top of the bottle.

Strong people have strong weaknesses.

The honest work of yesterday has lost its social status, its social esteem.

The enterprise that does not innovate ages and declines. And in a period of rapid change such as the present, the decline will be fast.

The question that faces the strategic decision maker is not what his organisation should do tomorrow. It is, what do we have to do today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow?
