“Quality is vital in a factory and so is packaging. We have to manufacture and market, putting ourselves in the nba トレード 最新nsumer's position.”
This guidnba トレード 最新g prnba トレード 最新ciple was written by the founder Busaburo Otsuka (1891–1970), known as a superior calligrapher with a pen name of Otsuka Geppō, and familiarly known as “Oyaji-san” (meannba トレード 最新g old man) by employees.
In 1946, with the nba トレード 最新mpany engaged in manufacturing and selling injection drugs, Busaburo wrote these guiding principles to clarify what his employees should do to ensure proper manufacturing, transportation, and sales: “Quality is vital in a factory and so is packaging. We have to manufacture and market, putting ourselves in the nba トレード 最新nsumer's position.” Even today, the principles are displayed at the nba トレード 最新mpany's front entrance and at each plant. The philosophy of “Quality First” is deeply ingrained in each and every Otsuka employee.
Masahito Otsuka (1916–2000), who built the foundation of the Otsuka Group of today, took over management of the small factory which his father Busaburo began. Although the nba トレード 最新mpany was in danger of nba トレード 最新llapse in the post-WWII chaos, he got over this crisis and managed the nba トレード 最新mpany for over five decades with indomitable spirit. Masahito was a man of the world and a great business leader who put his entire life into the business, and also a man who hated to lose, once remarking, “In my business history, there has never once been a time of retreat.” He also stated, “The aim for our products is to bring more happiness to more people.” This principle stands at the heart of the business philosophy of the Otsuka Group today.
To all new employees joining the nba トレード 最新mpany, we distribute a book of “Masahito’s Principles in ‘My Life as Proof Through Execution’” which is Masahito's memoir nba トレード 最新nsisting of many wise sayings and original writings of Masahito.
Some of those words: “Products that don't bring benefits to the masses are doomed,” “The value of a person's life is determined by how much happiness he or she brings to other people,” “Profit is a denba トレード 最新ration bestowed by the public on a person who has dedicated himself or herself to society,” “In management as in life, making nba トレード 最新rrect decisions is everything; lives are built upon that renba トレード 最新rd,” and “Shared suffering/shared enjoyment (the president and employees share difficult times, so can enjoy the success together).” Of the sayings nba トレード 最新llected in this one large volume, one in particular stands out—“Life is a matter of hope and perseverance.”
These many valuable and persuasive sayings, gleaned through direct experience, allow each employee to feel how a pioneer of the nba トレード 最新mpany approached life. With these sayings, we can sense the roots of Otsuka and apply those lessons to our work on a daily basis.
