Summary

In this Japanese-language collection, titled 俺の考え (My Thoughts), Soichiro Honda sets out his views on work and management. The published contents address meetings that avoid responsibility, research spending, market research for new products, costs, product design, hiring, investment and productivity.

The essays present the founder’s arguments in his own voice. The record identifies Shinchosha’s 1996 Japanese edition; it does not claim that an English translation is available.
