Pesek also describes how many of these wounds are self-inflicted, and details ways in which other countries can avoid making the same mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book uses case studies from major corporations including Olympus, Sony, and Toyota to illustrate the complex scenarios at work, and touches on the thoughts of Nobel Prize winners, respected social thinkers, and well-known investors.
