Made in Japan

Why It Matters

Morita built Sony from post-war Japan into a global icon through sheer conviction and taste. He didn't follow the market -- he created it. The Walkman, the Trinitron, the brand itself -- all came from a founder who trusted his instinct over research. The original taste-led company.

Quick Take

Sony's story is Japan's story is the story of how craft becomes global. One of the most inspiring business books ever written.
