- LETTERS, Page 6Push for Quality
-
- Patriotism does not require Americans to buy inferior U.S.
- products. Our business leaders have squandered a technological
- edge. How unfortunate they didn't gauge American public
- reaction and work for quality a decade ago (BUSINESS, Nov. 13).
- Charles E. Wilson of General Motors once said he thought that
- "what was good for the country was good for GM, and vice versa."
- In fact, what the automotive industry does badly is bad for the
- country. The United Auto Workers, the public's obsession with
- constant style changes, and Japanese protectionism have been the
- scapegoats, but management's neglect of quality control is much
- more to blame.
