American & Japs

Sorta Marketplace humor…

"A Japanese company and an American company had a boat race; the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans hired analysts to figure out what went wrong. They reported that the Japanese had one person managing (the team) and seven rowing, while the Americans had seven (people) managing and only one rowing. The American company immediately restructured its team.

Now, they had one senior manager, six management consultants and one rower. In the rematch, the Japanese won by two miles. So the American company fired the rower."

That was pretty stupid of Americans. There was no need to fire the rower, they could have given early retirement to the Senior Manager with a few millions in stock options and a hefty settlement and replace him with a new top school MBA. Then you will see how things change.
