However, the entrepreneur and industrialist became one of Japan’s wealthiest men. He started his small company with one product, an attachment plug. Today, the company, Panasonic is one of the world’s largest manufacturing companies of consumer electric appliances, ranging from electric batteries and rice cookers to TV sets and computer chips.? Why did he create the business empire? He told in this book, “Whatever difficulties and turmoil may prevail, it is always possible to find a way to promote mutual prosperity and progress in business and management. I also believe that there are thousands, even tens of thousands of paths to that goal. To discover the right path at the appropriate time, it is necessary for each of us to grasp the essentials of our respective businesses and management that I refer to collectively as the ‘management knack.’” He hands down the inspiration and lessons he learned over time about business and management like, “Good times good, bad times even better,” ”Delegate responsibility with a watchful eye,” ”When things go badly, the problem is you” Part One 1.
