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.

well said and he is comparing a product-based company with a service oriented industries..very unfair. Also in 1980's japan was among developed nation.
Auto car manufacturing industries are technology driven..not labour intensive...

This strategy will work, but instead of moving the projects to the US, they need to identify other developing nations probably with a weaker economy, like Vietnam is emerging as a preferrable offshore base.
