point

Organizations in a state of imbalance are strong.

Organizations need autonomy and freedom.

- Incorporating uncertain elements such as chance and the unknown.

• High-speed information processing is required.

Ikujiro Nonaka

1935-

Management scholar

This book, written by a management scholar who studies successful case studies of excellent companies, discusses the failures of Japanese organizations.

The Japanese army's failed battles

- Nomonhan Incident

Battle of Midway

- Guadalcanal Campaign

- Imphal Operation

Battle of Leyte Gulf

Battle of Okinawa

Common characteristics of failures

- The plan and objectives are vague.

- Lack of a rational information sharing system

Lack of communication

- Not learning from past mistakes

This refers to the fact that defeats in many battlefields were carried out using the same patterns, suggesting that the cause of defeat was not a difference in military strength, but rather a fixed fighting style.

Successful organizations are constantly innovating. They need autonomy, freedom, and the ability to quickly assess situations in order to navigate the complex world.
