                           “Universities exist to transmit knowledge and understanding of ideas
                           and values to students not to provide entertainment for spectators or
                           employment for athletes.”
                                                                              Milton Friedman

                                     THE IMPACT OF CULTURE ON BUSINESS

                           Take  a  look  at  the  new  breed  of  international  managers,  educated
                           according  to  the  most  modern  management  philosophies.  They  all
                           know  that  in  the  SBU,  TQM  should  reign,  with  products  delivered
                           JIT, where CFTs distribute products while subject to MBO. (SBU =
                           strategic business unit, TQM = total quality management, JIT = just-
                           in-time,  CFT  =  customer  first  team,  MBO  =  management  by
                           objectives.)
