Ok but TMSC is Taiwanese and it’s likely their US success has a lot to do with management “technology” developed overseas. I’m not sure the case for American management superiority is strong in semiconductors, where our national champion is Intel.
Interesting perspective! Management practices can indeed make a huge difference in productivity, worth exploring globally.
1. Americas ability to pay and attract the most talented leaders in the world. 2. Cultural norms in America around work. 3. Pro-business government policies. A trifecta that most countries could only dream of.
So a paper written by three profs at American universities, published in an American journal, and scored by American metrics concludes America has the best managers in the world? 🤔🙄😂
Something about enforced sobriety in team meetings lacks soul, but ends up making million-dollar decisions more thought out.
When 100s of people die due to malfunction of 787Max engine of Boeing and CEO gets away with it, it’s very difficult to have faith in management. Last week my United flight from Delhi was delayed as lavatories were not working!
amazing how many US funded and authored "research" reports seem to find that the US is just the best at everything in every possible way.
