the title indicates that there is a great idea being described.... but there is nothing, except a irrelevant parrallel being drawn between the Japan car makers and Indian IT companies.
doesn't the writer understand that IT is a manpower intensive industry. the cost depends on salary straight. In the car industry the cost of the car does not depend that much on salary. it is more about material and capital investment.
morover the salary difference between Japan and the US was not much, as opposed to our IT situation today.
