Product Description

Review

"Heavily footed and studded with graphs and charts, this insider′s view of one of the world′s leading manufacturers is somewhat academic in tone yet has enough anecdotes to make it interesting." (Library Journal, May 15, 2008)


Product Description

Extreme Toyota offers the first real, comprehensive inside look at what makes one of the world?s best companies run. With unprecedented access to the inner working of Toyota, the authors spent six years researching the company, interviewing hundreds of executives and employees, and discovering the company′s secret of success. What they uncovered will surprise you and change the way you think about business. Simultaneously rigidly traditional and seriously innovative, it is precisely those internal contradictions that make the company so successful and admired.

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful study of Toyota's cultural strength and internal contradictions, 5 Oct 2009
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Vast numbers of books discuss Toyota, but this one is far more than just another paean to how well the company uses its production system. Emi Osono, Norihiko Shimizu and Hirotaka Takeuchi, working with translator John Kyle Dorton, focus on several different elements of Toyota's culture. They explain how the company's leaders diagnose its internal contradictions and use them as a source of energy and a springboard for creativity. Where most corporate leaders see waste and a sad absence of harmonization, Toyota's executives forge a fresh road through experimentation and continuous improvement. The book offers new ideas to help you assess your organization's internal contradictions and turn them to your advantage. Despite being originally written in Japanese, this volume reads well and it features illustrations that actually help you understand the concepts behind the words. getAbstract recommends it to businesspeople who are interested in Toyota, its culture and the culture of their own organizations.
