Abstract: Abstract On the afternoon of November 21, 1949, in Osaka, Japan, a young radio engineer from Raytheon stood in front of a classroom full of Japanese telecommunications experts and began to lecture them on the fundamentals of business management. The engineer’s name was Homer Sarasohn. He and a few other electronics experts had been co-opted from their companies and assigned to the command headquarters of General Douglas MacArthur in Japan. The victors were teaching the vanquished.
