Just finished the NUMMI episode on This American LIfe. Very interesting.

A car plant in Fremont California that might have saved the U.S. car industry. In 1984, General Motors and Toyota opened NUMMI as a joint venture.

Frank Langfitt explains why GM didn't learn the lessons – until it was too late.

As a recommendation from @joshdance I just finished the book "The World is Flat."

Great book which describes globalization and its effects on the way we do business.

Thanks Josh for the recommendation.
