Bordering Kyoto, Ohmi Province was closely tied to the history of political, cultural, social and economic development in the ancient capital of Japan. Ohmi also served as a vital crossing point connecting Kyoto with eastern Japan. The affluent traffic of people and goods there contributed to its economic presence. Ohmi merchants can be considered the very source of Japanese-style management. They developed core concepts such as sanpo-yoshi or "three-way satisfaction" and corporate social responsibility (CSR), considering a third-person perspective, being a member of society, a healthy tension with society, customer satisfaction, contribution to society, the social consciousness of "good for the world", appropriate profits, avoid waste and give your all, the spirit of the peddler, faith and devotion, talent and innovation, leveraging information and investing in startup ventures. This book is full of useful ideas and methods that have helped Japanese corporations and individuals achieve success for generations. It is recommended for anyone who wants to dig deep into the historical background that helped Japanese companies overcome adversity and achieve greatness.
