The Japanese Automobile Industry: Technology and Management at Nissan and Toyota (Harvard East Asian Monographs)

Customer Reviews:

I wish I had read this first!.......2007-04-28

This is a "Must Read" if you are a serious student of 'Lean Manufacturing'. The book concentrates on factural information, not the myth building stories seen in so many other books on TPS.
A serious history of the Japanese auto industry, not just about Toyota.

Book Description

One for your Personal Library.......2006-08-31

Here is a book you can refer to forever. Good stuff to know.

The writer has been on the Jay Thomas Radio Show (Sirius Satellite) many times, and he's very helpful! He gives a tollfree number in the book, so that if you ever get a ticket you can call him up and ask questions about your specific situation and he'll help you FREE!! All for just the cost of this book!

Become an Informed Driver.......2006-08-13

This book was very knowledgeable on the ways cops obtain your speed as well as the faults in the types of ways they obtain it. Along with using correct and "street" terminology, it talks about the different types of radar used to pick up your speed and how they obtain your speed by pacing you. There are MANY faults and this book just confirms my prior thoughts that tickets are purely a money making scam not only for the police but for the insurance agencies as well. If nothing else buy it to be prepared when you do get pulled over as it gives you good tips on how to get away from a ticket at this early stage to. 4 out of 5 only because it does not list laws from every state just some laws from some states.

An Educated Guide To Speeding Tickets-How To Beat Avoid Them.......2006-08-10

It was helpfull but alot of the information is not good for the Washington state courts.

It really works.......2006-02-28

I just beat my speeding ticket last week by following Mr. Wallace's advice on sending a certified mail to the officer asking for the calibration record, FCC license, training record, etc. The officer didn't have most of it and stated that he didn't get the mail when I showed him the receipt of the certified mail he then said he had some of what I asked for. When we met the judge, He asked to dismiss the case stating that he didn't have the documents I asked for to prepare my case. My case was dismissed and saved me $200 of speeding ticket. I knew I did not speed in the first place and I'm so glad I invested on this book. It's worth the money. I also spoke to Mr. Wallace prior to my case preparation. He has a toll free number and he returns calls...This book is on the top of my list...

Simply The Best Book Of Its Kind-Easy Read-Great Info.......2005-12-08

Out of the 3 books that I recently purchased to help me fight a speeding ticket in my home state of Illinios, the Educated Guide by Richard Wallace was simply the best of them all. It read so easy and was full of helpful information. The one simple tip I learned in the book which I am surprised most people do not think of, is to obtain a copy of your driving history or record from your DMV/Registry and bring it to court along with you. As Mr. Wallace instructs, show it to the court, most of the time the court will dismiss your case because you have a clean record which is EXACTLY what happened to me. I WON! I did not have to pay the $110 and my insurance rates did not go up. I learned so much in this book. I highly recommend it to any parent who has a newly licensed son or daughter or for the husband or wife who cant slow down, like me! I am 52 years old and have never received a speeding ticket but I do drive a little faster than I should, as most of us do! Thank you Amazon for carrying the book and KUDOS to Mr. Wallace for taking the time to write it and the guts to tell the truth about the greed associated with the issuing of speeding tickets by the police. What impressed me also was that Mr. Wallace actually posts on his website the websites of his competition. I especially enjoyed the National Motorists Assocation website, it was most helpful. I learned so much from this experience and after reading this book, I will never receive another ticket again but if I do, I will fight back. Thanks again to both Amazon and Officer Wallace.

Teaching with Heart and Caring.......2001-03-28

An Apple for My Teacher is a book that helps students and teachers alike realize their importance to one another. The tweleve stories included show what makes a good teacher and how influential a figure a teacher is/can be in a student's life. I enjoyed reading about the various ways and the different types of teachers that influenced these writers. Surprisingly not all of the writers chose teachers that were a 'traditional' teacher nor did they all choose teachers who specifically taught english. The only problem with the book is that it seems dated because most of the authors went to school many years ago. It would be good to have a 'newer' version of this book. Even though the time frame is a bit old the feelings and experiences presented in this book are still relevant today.

1997 - How Much Has Changed!.......2007-10-16

I picked up this book in a $2 bargain box in Texas. I dare say it wasn't a cheapie because of the content (I really enjoyed it) but more because it was released in 1997. Due to its age - two things stood out to me so clearly. Firstly, there was no mention of the internet. Not one, and not a website or email address on the contributors contact page - now what a great lesson in how much has changed in just ten years. Secondly, so many of the women profiled spoke of the glass ceilings they had hit due to being women. It made me feel very encouraged to compare this with my own talks with fabulous women in business today where the incidents of "boys clubs" are far less.

Excellent, timely book--fully inspirational for women.......2000-09-13

This is an EXCELLENT, timely, and fully inspirational book for women entrepeneurs and wannabe ones. There just isn't that much out there that tells great stories of women business leaders/small businesswomen with inspiring visions--and so we generally don't even get to learn these stories. This book shares 29 of those rare stories, and better yet, does them in the women's own words. It's HIGHLY inspirational, and a real treasure trove of women's wisdom for starting and running your own business. As a reader, you feel privileged to sit and "listen to" these 29 women tell their precious stories, and you come away feeling like you know who they are, and that you've been inspired to do more yourself. Great job, throughout: even lovely photos here and there to illustrate who the "speakers" are--the tellers of these tales. A great book, and one I'm very glad I stumbled across. It should make the short list of anyone's guide to what makes entrepeneurial women tick. Excellent.

Book Description

A corporate brand represents the public perception of a company, its products, and its employees. Simple mishandling or mismanagement of a brand can have a potentially catastrophic impact on a business. Therefore, effective brand management is a critical component of the marketing strategy of all businesses. Businesses use the Internet not only to promote their brand to the general public via external Web sites, but also to develop and maintain that brand. Over the last two to four years, a plethora of vendors have emerged to offer Internet-based tools and services for internal or external brand management. As illustrated in Exhibit 1, among the components of Web brand management are search engine optimization (SEO), brand protection, and brand asset management (BAM). These categories cater to different user sets within an organization and offer quite different value propositions. However, despite these differences, vendors within these categories claim to assist businesses in brand management across multiple channels, markets, and media, and to help accelerate the time-to-market of messaging and digital assets. This Report analyzes the benefits of using multiple techniques for brand management, identifies the business drivers behind an end-user purchase decision, and assesses how new technologies for brand development, management, and protection can affect a business’s bottom line.

READ THIS FIRST!.......2003-05-04

I purchased this book with out reading the customer reviews first. That is my fault completely. But don't bother wasting your money. In fact, think of the cost of this book as money you don't have to spend. It's a waste. Completely.

No Thanks.......2002-12-31

This book is "old". It reads like someone wrote it in an hour and offers advice that is not complete or up to date. Good intentions but ... my copy is on its way to the thrift store!

Who does this help?.......2002-09-24

I'm not really sure who this book is supposed to help. It came to me and it's almost as small as a brochure (14 pages of photocopied nothing!). It gives tips that someone completely clueless would even know, i.e. always pay a little something on your credit cards, set money aside, invest in your future, pay off all past due bills. If you had the money to do all of these bullet-pointed things you wouldn't need a book like this to begin with! Is this guy serious? ...On the flip side, along with this worthless "book", I got The Budget Kit by Judy Lawrence. A few dollars more but an extensive look at how to work with your money and budget what you've got with an in-depth workbook and explanation of what it takes to get you back on the road to financial stability!

THIS WILL GET YOU ON TO A GOOD START.......2001-07-02

As much as I spend money, I needed this as a guide to save more. This is simpistic, and easy to follow. So far in the past 3 months that I have followed the advice in this book, I have made tremendous progress in my spending patterns and saving habits. I even put some money in a CD to avoid spending it! For me, that's a miracle.

I suggest that if you want to start basic, this book is an excellent way to start.

Making Ends Meet???.......2001-03-01

I was extremely dissapointed when I received this book! Although the content has good potential, I felt it was overly simplified and just barely skimmed the surface of what it really takes to set up a good budget and stick to it. It did not have the depth that it could have had, to really help me through my financial situation. I would, in no way, recommend this phamplet to anyone who is seriously looking for help thru a book to set up a budget and get out of debt!
