Who is Toyota’s Bathsheba?
No one can argue that Toyota has slain the mighty Detroit 3. Well, some may attempt to make the argument but they are in deep denial and should seek mental assistance in my humble opinion. In this light, Toyota may be likened to the older David who did some terrible things and paid dearly. While Toyota’s sins may not be adultery or murder (at least I sure hope not!) there could be other sins creep in like building too many plants, getting complacent with quality, and losing focus on the simple things that has helped them get to where they are today. The Rest of the Story Only time will tell how Toyota deals with its success. I, for one, hope they continue to prosper. But it’s never easy being on top since everyone is gunning for you and eventually some new up and coming company will become the new David. And when this happens many will be all too happy to watch the mighty goliath fall.
