"Mistakes and miscalculations are human and normal, and viewed in the long run they have not damaged the company. I do not mind taking responsibility for every managerial decision I have made. But if a person who makes a mistake is branded and kicked off the seniority promotion escalator, he could lose his motivation for the rest of his business life and deprive the company of whatever good things he may have to offer later. If the causes of the mistake are clarified and made public, the person who made the mistake will not forget it and others will not make the same mistake. I tell our people “Go ahead and do what you think is right. If you make a mistake, you will learn from it. Just don't make the same mistake twice." — Akio Morita (Made in Japan: Akio Morita and Sony) "The Japanese government takes away more than 50 percent of our profits, and that in a sense makes it a majority partner. So from our government’s viewpoint, it wants its partner to work hard and make a profit. By doing so, business is able to keep people employed, enabling the company and its employees to pay taxes rather than to go on the public dole. This is done with a long-range viewpoint." — Akio Morita (Made In Japan: Akio Morita and Sony)
