American Samurai: A Warrior for the Coming Dark Ages of American Business Paperback - 1992

by William Lareau

In the tradition of Theory Z, a management expert explains how America can regain its #1 economic power status by using Japanese business techniques. In this unique guide, business people will discover why managers are responsible for 99% of all day-to-day business breakdowns, why building to specs guarantees stagnation, and more.


From the publisher

The American samurai knows that the old attitudes just won't cut it in today's market. He knows that the battle to make the U.S. a great economic power might be lost, but he's still willing to fight to the end to put quality back in American products. If you are ready to become a crusader for quality and success, William Lareau shows you how. In frank language, he explains:
-- Why managers -- not workers -- are responsible for 99% of all day-to-day business breakdowns
-- Why every American samurai must learn the Japanese word "Kaizen" -- and put it into effect in their company today
-- Why building to specs guarantees stagnation
-- A 12-step, "Plan-Do-Check-Act" program that can become your pathway to achieving and maintaining quality.
