"Made In Japan". - Akio Morita

This book is the autobiography of the co-founder of the wold famous "Sony".
This was one of the first autobiographies I have read, I loved reading the book. It was my first exposure to the wolrd outside though a book.
It is a nice book that gives the way this awesome Japanese company has taken over the world. He speaks about the way the company started off after the shackels to which Japan was grounded after the World War 2.
There are a few nice points to pick up form the book:
- the enterpreneur spirit
- the management strategies that he followed in the course
- the agility to accept change, and be nimble
- the Japanese economy
- the Emphasis on quality by Japanese industries
- the natural build up of the industries for low power consumption and the effect it had later on.
- the American economy
- the Japanese competition and its spirit.

The thoughts that he appreciates regarding the current economy.
The overall philosophy of the book is a must need for those planning to be enterpreneurs in the future.
