Building the Integrated Company

Based on the maxim that to be an above average company, an above average ratio of above average people performing at above average levels is needed, the author offers a model for exploiting potential within companies. The first part of the book describes and contrasts the similarities and differences of American, Japanese and European management and then describes the characteristics of the Integrated Company, which has absorbed and perfected the best systems and philosophies from around the world. Anyone seeking to follow this lead needs to be able to distinguish the realities of these management systems from the myths.
