Man...I didn't expect a lecture and a quiz, but if that means you'll send me
an MBA, I'll get right to work analyzing and answering those e-mails.
I think your questions, however, are more related to economics, and less
related to "operations management," which was my area of specialization (not
that the facetiousness of your questions makes them hard to answer). If you
could focus more on production methods/techniques, including lean production
(which, yes, could be traced back to the US), and other ways companies are
able to gain or sustain a competitive advantage, I might be able to better
listen and pay attention. In other words, our major areas of interest were
more so how to avoid being the ones caught with our pants down.
Unfortunately, philiosophy and what we thought was "fair" were not subjects
I studied either.
Anyway, I think you need this, Neil...and a fair warning...anyone who is
offended by stuff shouldn't click the link. I'm saying this now because I
don't expect to hear anyone complaining it is inappropriate because they
clicked the link and were offended even when I said they shouldn't.

Well, let's discuss THIS business model, in your MBA progam, Garrett:
How many millions of people reside in Japan?
How many MULTI-millions reside HERE? (answer: about 300 million)
Which country has GIVEN-away technological innovations , in the 50's &
60's, and which has exploited those advantages?
Which country has protective import restrictions, and which country
protects its
monetary valuations, to make its exports cheap?
Which country has economicaly invaded the other one, taking advantage
of receving State
provided tax-breaks, in competition with other
represeed-revenue/employment states, to manufacture cars/trucks at a
lower unit-cost than its 'domestic' (don't want to give-away the
answers, here, Garrett; this is a TOUGH Business School course, here)
competition, which is entrenched in a high-business cost environment.
Which country has dominated the other's ADVERTISING, in EVERY-possible
venue, so as to establish a "domestic" entity/existence?
You'll have to pardon me, here, folks, this is ONLY 'off' the top of my
head; no deep business-school model- research being done
here.
And, yes, I DID major in Bus Admin, @ Miami U. , in Oxford, OH (class of
'72).
