Termyn8or -> Good outsourcing jobs idea ! (12/6/2008 11:10:15 PM)

It hit me a few minutes ago, the solution to this mess.
Instead of outsourcing labor, outsource management. Fire all these stuffed suits who probably couldn't run a tavern. Bring in Japanese, Chinese, German indusrialists.
I have mentioned this before, but it belongs here. I read an article by a financial analyst many years ago, when the Japanese cars were coming into popularity. Yes it was a while ago.
He stated that American car manufacturers used cost driven pricing while Japanese car manufacturers used price driven costing.
That means when GM designed a car, all the costs were added up and the MSRP was set. Meantime, the Japanese would tell the staff the target price of a car and were charged with the duty of meeting that price.
They won.
Then all we would need is people to run the big banks etc. and we would be all set.With the mess we're in, Milburn Drysdale* would probably be a better choice.
So whaddya think ?

*Milburn Drysdale was a fictional character in a sitcom in the US - The Beverly Hillbillies. He was a greedy and materialistic bank president to the point of being funny. I mention it because this is an international forum and some may not know the reference, but if you can get ahold of the first six episodes, watch them, they are just about the funniest thing on the planet.
