Canon

Matsushita saw business as a sacred mission: making quality electronics affordable so that every household could enjoy modern convenience. His meaning came not from profit but from the responsibility to raise living standards across Japan.
Matsushita visited every factory, studied every competitor, and adapted every innovation he encountered. His method was the same as Walton's and Disney's: treat the entire industry as a textbook and learn from everyone.
