Business Management Strategy - Corporate Strategy - Global Business Strategy

Toyota's reputation restoring cost has became really high in spite of a really solid philosophy. One of the best thing Toyota has is their productivity cycles which is considered an example to follow by other companies and a must-be-discussed topic in any business school program. I am talking about Kaizen or "improvement" or "change for the better" following its meaning roots.

I have learned a lot from Toyota's Kaizen all these years and the fact they based it directly from Zen philosophy makes me wonder was it they couldn't interpolate these philosophy to higher executive level via effective utility functions who didn't know how promote a corporate responsibility culture or was just a corporate mistake?

The price to restore its reputation seems to be high that without counting turn over and lawsuits. They are looking for now other fast and more efficient low cost ways to restore their corporate image.Toyota repairs itself now in the Social Media Garage.

In Finnish language they call it Financial Crisis Lama. Paradoxically "Lama" means also teacher or chief educator similar to the term "Guru" or dispeller of darkness. What is this thing teaching us and what is being at the moment intelligently compaginated by authorities in this light? We all agree Education should be the axis on promoting changes for a better world. Again history has proved once again traditional educative approaches are definitely wrong the same way as past "isms", they all come and go.

As a simple citizen of the world why not giving solutions as well? It doesn't matter if you are educated or not, share your opinion ok? I am really concerned on Education as Innovation promoter and sustainability creator but not based on the way of traditional approaches. I base this writing on this article originally published in Harvard Business School blog named:

How To Fix Business Schools
A Manifesto for B-Schools
by Rakesh Khurana and Scott Snook

Here I humbly share some insights and ideas on this matter as a conscious citizen of our beloved family named World:

The title of this article is just a question I once wondered, I just want to create opinion as always. I once wrote for the Ezines, an article explaining the every day more complexities of the Search Engines algorithms cycle.

I was explaining in that article as Mathematical algorithms has been so far one of the most important axis of what we call material development of our actual civilization. Mathematics and physics rule the world we actually live in. They rock. And it's so the case that it even delimits and define the way human beings see life, under its shadow define concepts we have on things like a projection.

Innovation is a very important stage for any type of business nowadays, we are kind of fed up to hear everywhere innovate or else die, innovation is closely related to technology, there is a time when we face somewhat like a dilemma in the innovation curve. no matter if it is a product, service, marketing, application, potential or lateral

What is really hidden in the very core of this concept? we must answer several questions, of course many questions arise when we are talking about this, however we can summarize these: How can you make an economic decision about technologies? How to transfer a technology into an innovation? What distinguishes sustainable from disruptive technologies?

Which factors decide about the innovations to pursue? What is characteristic for successful innovations? How can you successfully design the process of innovation? How can you accelerate the product development process successfully (within an innovation cooperation)? What determines the change from closed to open innovation?

How to enhance the creativity of a company and include knowledge from the outside? Once we have asked ourselves these questions we have to understand what stage are we into now? where are we focusing our efforts, are we using peacemaker technology, key technology, basic technology, or a former technology?
