EMBA in Asia

For more details about Kjell's "foreign excursion" here is a link to an impressive photo blog created by someone in his group. Kjell writes:

"Today we took a bullet train from Kyoto to Toyota City and toured the Toyota factory. It was really interesting to see how their constant-improvement policies are put in action. Japan is very collective (as opposed to individualistic) and the Japanese have been able to accomplish some pretty cool things as a result. Many foreign companies have tried to duplicate "The Toyota Way" but without everyone wanting to contribute to the common good, no one has yet been able to see the same results. Still, there are trade-offs. Japanese children are pretty much "broken" in their schooling years until college. They learn to take their place in the machine, but they are very innovative/creative."
