Abstract: This paper will explore the prevailing system of management in the West, one which has discouraged individual initiative. The results are decreased innovation and a reduction in applied technology. To restore motivation, innovation and joy in work and learning, a transformation of management is essential. This transformation requires application of a system of profound knowledge and an understanding of processes and statistics. Areas of understanding include system optimization, statistical variation and losses resulting from tampering. Additioanally, the transformation requires that management must comprehend human behavior, cultural forces, and motivational techniques as well as the process of change.
