Management Styles / Comparison Between The U.S. and
Japan : A 5 page paper comparing management styles in
Japan and the US. Not until the American public was tired of
expensive inferior quality and started turning to the Japanese
for increasing numbers of cars each year did American
manufacturing take Japan seriously. The management style
in the US had been that from the behavior school, with a fair
amount of autocracy included. The chasm between labor and
management was particularly wide in manufacturing
operations, while a healthy labor-management attitude
operated in Japan. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Mstyle.wps

The Importance Of Vision And Mission Statements In
Corporations : 5 pages in length. Corporations are no
different than any other entity of life where there must exist a
distinct direction and method of operation. Instilling such
components into the corporation's framework in the form of
vision and mission statements is essential in the company's
overall concept. Without a firm foundation upon which to
stand, the corporation cannot expect its employees to
maintain their own direction if the company is floundering to
ascertain its own. By providing a secure and focused vision
toward the corporation's ultimate scope of achievement, as
well as a mission statement that defines the more detailed
aspects of its vision, a corporation is better equipped to attain
its goals. The writer discusses vision and mission statements
as they pertain to corporations. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Total Productive Maintenance : A 6 page paper discussing
the holistic view of manufacturing plant maintenance. TPM
as a strategic tool quite possibly could become the telling
factor that separates the most successful companies from
those whose overall performance is strong but never
spectacular. In today’s increasingly competitive business
climate, organizations must operate as efficiently as possible.
While TPM alone likely will not yield that edge that has the
potential of sending the organization to the top of its
industry, it can nevertheless make important contribution to
the overall success of the company and contribute to the
organization’s sustained competitive advantage.
