“You Americans have
caught on to our secret of
productivity in Japan–
“teams!” But we will still
win. You think all you need
to do is to put people
together in groups and
something will happen. We
know that’s only the
beginning.”

-- President of Matsushita
Electric Industrial Company,

answering the question, ‘What went wrong with the group as a whole &
why?
