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

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.
