Yes, exactly! Businesses laugh off this part these days as if it's a cliche' and they use it as mission statement fodder. But really, WHAT ABOUT INTEGRITY, MORALS, AND THE CUSTOMER!?!? Is doing a job for the sake of doing what's right not enough today? It appears that within this thread people are pointing towards a clear dichotomy between large corporations and the influence of their shareholders vs. small companies who maintain the control and vision to pursue more righteous goals such as quality and integrity....?

Toyota is in a major bind but if see from the mother land you can get to see another view. Made in Japan did (after a certain year) and still does mean quality and many are crying foul over the fact that their plants did not create this mess and will point this clearly out to me.

I believe Toyota still does mean quality, but something clearly derailed that goal in the context of this current problem they're experiencing.


integrity - the actual meaning per business size
This is an interesting concept to me. I would like to explore this concept!
