Self-Managing WorkGroups
In the 1980s and into the early 1990s the Japanese worker participative concept that they called Quality Control Circles (also known simply as ‘Quality Circles’) swept the industrial world globally. It seemed that we were witnessing a work life revolution on a massive scale everywhere. Unfortunately, in the West, this revolution was short-lived. There were multiple reasons for this which are explained in this book.

From Consumption To Production
The architects of Nigeria’s Development Plans believed in the power of the state to achieve socio-economic development through industrialisation. The nation invested heavily in highly-intensive and costly industrial plants such as iron and steel, petrochemicals, and aluminium plants; all of them failed. Planners were not well informed about planning industrial projects and therefore mismanaged them. The country today has nothing to show for billions of dollars invested. Presumptions, corruption and ignorance led to colossal mistakes while the country descended into a consumption nation. Nigeria, the book argues, should not be a consumption but a production nation.
