1. Would Kyocera be a good company to work for? Why or why not?
I feel that Kyocera would be a great company to work for. I believe that the company practices not only to the firms business but its employees as well. This is the very least I can say about companies in America. Everyday you turn on the T.V you hear about mass layoffs and ethics not be pursued correctly in our country. I think that Kyocera should be a model firm that all businesses should admire and strive to be after. Just the simple facts that Mr. Inamori would stay late working at his own business are phenomenal, and a practice should be rewarded.
2. Is Inamori's leadership style linked to Kyocera's core competencies? Why or why not?
Yes, I believe it is linked to Kyocera's core competencies because the core values that Dr. Inamori instilled while he was with Kyocera have made impact on the employees, the companies' success and more. Having systems in place that can adapt to change and the changing organizational goals, and expansion globally is another important skill that Inamori showed.
