This is an article written by Robert Chapman Wood, and based on an interview with Homer M. Sarasohn. Wood explains how Sarasohn and Charles Protzman ended up teaching the CCS management course to the Japanese at the request of Douglas MacArthur. Japanese manufacturers were able to learn a lot from American methods at a time when the United States was a lead industrial power. Wood explains that as time went on the roles shifted and the United States began looking to Japan for inspiration.
