Do the job right ... AChinese executive manager in a health industry is shot by the government while another in toy manufacturing commits suicide, all because of their poor job performance, which placed millions of worldwide customers at risk. True, China wants to be No. 1 and replace America as the world economic power. And it will be able to do so by holding its managers accountable for failing their workers, customers and country. But not without the help of large American retailers seeking lower prices and lazy American managers taking the easy way out by surrendering American manufacturing might without a competitive fight. Can we not recall Japan's rise from war's defeat and poorly painted plaster kewpie dolls for amusement parks, to quality luxury cars with only a few executives committing hari-kari? American corporate boardrooms don't have to shoot anyone, all they have to do is first instill in themselves the required ethics to make America strong. Then deny their executive selections the obscene rewards for business failures through bonus or golden parachutes when their corporations crash and burn in bankruptcy If we are going to be managed into Third World status let it be by General Custer types not by Benedict Arnolds.
