Japan Airlines Corp. CEO and Chairman Kazuo Inamori voiced confidence Wednesday in turning the ailing airline around, saying it is improving financially and will achieve restructuring goals through his ¡°amoeba¡± management style.
¡°I have spent many years in management and know from my experience that it¡¯s important to have a system to allow you to grasp details of real-time figures and results so that all employees can pitch ideas to improve business operations,¡± Inamori told reporters at Foreign Correspondents¡¯ Club of Japan.
¡°However, JAL did not have such a system and employees did not have real understanding of which flights and routes were making how much profit. So they failed to make appropriate management decisions,¡± said the 78-year-old Inamori.
