Summary

Toyota – A Cautionary Tale

Sometimes, a firm’s profitability, financial productivity and business performance harm its rivals. In 2005, Toyota was performing so well that it hoped to supplant General Motors (GM) as the world’s leading automaker. Due mostly to robust US sales, Toyota produced a 39% jump in net profits in 2006. Toyota enjoyed a sterling reputation for production expertise, quality automobiles and harmonious relationships with its many suppliers.

However, Toyota’s plan to outdo GM meant expanding dramatically. Maintaining its strong supply-chain operations would be very difficult. The firm would need to develop new working relationships quickly with numerous non-Japanese suppliers.

    To the point summary - "Beyond Performance" is a compendium for leaders searching for positive competitive advantage factors. Organizatonal health is more than the authors describe naming only sustainability as missing. Attentive readers of McKinsey's Quarterly may know the contents from multiple articles with equal subjects. It is good and inspiring fare for practitioners - less easy for beginners. Anyway a great approach for the subject itself with its own right and foundation - recommendable read.
